Would using some "debug" type utility to store a non-zero value at address 4
be a partial circumvention?

The pre-Z restart PSW is never used for anything now -- is that correct?

  Location 4 means address 4 (i.e. offset 4 in the PSA). 

 There was a latent bug from a prior release in the loop control 
code so that it was erroneously fetching from address 4, and 
behaving especially badly when the data at that location 
is x'00000000', which it is as of z/OS 2.5.  In prior releases,
it was x'000130E1' when in zArchitecture mode.
