Jim, The last I checked, level 2 was in the process of opening the APAR. Once it's open, I would expect an official PTF should be available in a week or so, which will make it correctively available. We will make certain that PTF ends up on the next RSU. Sorry, I do not know when the next RSU is scheduled to be built.
As for the problem appearing on every PERFKIT in the world ... well, that's an odd one. The problem appears to pop up on more systems than not, but several of our local test systems have been running all day today without encountering any problem. I have no idea why they are not hitting it. The TOD validity checks occurred in two places in the PERFKIT MODULE, in the DSPACESH and UCOMM commands/reports. I have not verified whether those test systems that stayed up were using either of these. If they were not, then that could explain why they have stayed up. With regard to the TOD when the failure began, I misspoke (mistyped?). The information I was using in my original append had several TOD values in it, one of which was Noon on 14 January. If you convert 'C0000000 00000000' into wall clock time, I believe it is actually close to Noon on 13 January. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll be ordering z/VM 5.2 soon. How long will it take to get this fix into the distribution or at least the PSP bucket or on an RSU? Just out of curiosity, is this something that hits every PerfTK user in the world? Your post said that it occurred on Jan. 14. The abend I saw was on Jan. 13 at 14:58 EST. Jim
