Would a Getmain/Freemain/Storage Trace on the STC help find the problem?

All:

I have a STC written in Cobol V4.1 calling Assembler routines to perform
various RACF functions. I have a customer who is reporting seeing a storage
creep in subpool = 0 key 8. We use Subpool = 1 key 8 when we call IRRSEQ00
(r_admin) call. We then issue a 'FREEMAIN', see below:


*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
* REGS PASSED TO FREEMAIN: R3=SUBPOOL R2=SIZE R4=ADDRESS
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FREEMAIN RU,A=(R4),SP=(R3),LV=(R2) FREE OLD BLOCK

I know the Freemain is working, we did a test with an ABEND with a dump and
saw r15 = 0 and the above registers and they were correct. The twist here
is right before we call IRRSEQ00, we issue a

MODESET KEY=ZERO,MODE=SUP
issue our call
MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=PROB
build output record and pass back to caller.

I ran out STC and issue a RACF command and the issued a
'DUMP COMM=(xxxxxxxx)'
Pulled it into IPCS...reviewing the dump I saw very little subpool = 0
activity..

I am stumped here. We have a called scheduled with IBM.
