The LE folks indicate that the message really does not have much to do with the display of asterisks for that register.
For performance reasons, the C/C++ compiler may choose not to save specific registers. If register contents were not saved, then the data for that register is residual information that CEEDUMP considers not to be meaningful to the owning routine. CEEDUMP suppresses that residual information, replacing it with the asterisks. I do not know why they would both do that and also attempt to dump storage around that register and display a message when that storage is not available to be dumped. Regardless it sounds like the message is not worth worrying about if the display shows asterisks.
