Ok, I should have read the whole thread more carefully - both re-IPL and SYSTEM CLEAR had already been tried with no effect, redefining virtual storage would be a similar no-op. I think Richard's probably on the righ t track with the theory about SMSG backlogs building up, resetting the virt ual machine wouldn't clear that, I don't think.
