I worked at a site once (many) years ago where some bright spark once wrote a 
program called "IJKEFT01" whose sole purpose in life was to just ATTACH 
IKJEFT01 *unless* it was the "target" userid in which case it also ATTACHed an 
extra TCB that randomly generated strange abends at random intervals.

Cue frantic hunting through manuals and head scratching of the affected user.

Made me smile.....
