I seem to remember a similar type problem from very early days of WLM Managed 
Initiators. Thanks for the heads up Mark.
Kees, curious if this is a full on WLM Managed environment or a mix of JES and 
WLM managed.

The SMF 99 might have the WLM / correct values (I've never looked at them
that close, so I'm not sure if that's in there).  Both WLM and JES2 keep track 
of
the number of WLM initiators there are by SRVCLASS.  It's the JES2 code that 
is doing that incorrectly.
