Jim,
There are several reasons for the increased use of virtual storage when
running
the TCP/IP functions and utilities. You can read about some of these at
http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/donovanm/zvmle.html
and specifically look at
http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/donovanm/zvmle.html#LEstor
The 5M "feechur" you mention is an unfortunate artifact of sockets being
defined
as POSIX file descriptors in the Byte File System client code. "Fixing"
this
involves a significant rewrite of a BFS client storage management and will
most likely not happen any time soon.

I remember back in zVM 5.1 or 5.2 days seeing on the list that there
were memory problems or memory size issues. I probably didn't follow it
because I was using 4.4 and probably just thought it would be fixed.
Now I see that it wasn't fixed. I've just been told by IBM it's a
"feechur". I'm seeing it with the TCPIP clients, FTP and LPR. They
grab about 5M and don't release it. I didn't see it in putting the
release together because whoever runs the MAINT id in installation with
a small machine size.
Does anyone have any ideas or a solution or is that just the way it is?
Jim
