STABLE links is something that I only saw being used by DFSMS, it
means no one else can get a R.W link, that's my MAINT's 123 got it MR
link become R/O.  Maybe newer support in DIRMAINT makes it use STABLE
links?

Q LINKS does only reveal who has a minidisk starting at the same
cylinder, so your Q LINKS 123 reveals onlt MAINT has a fullpack
minidisk active at the time.
A LINK at the other hand checks the full cylinder range of the
minidisk one wants to link.  In this case the STABLE minidisks
touching any cylinder of 540RES prohibit the Write request by MAINT.

To use STABLE (or EXCLUSIVE) links one needs to be authorized.  So,
get the USER BACKUP file and look of all
  LNKSTABL   (if I remember the keyword correctly)
on the OPTION records, and you have all candates.  Then a
   SET SECUSER culprit *
