Just thought I would update folks on the present problem IBM has
accepted as a JES2 problem. MVS Solutions' Thruput Manager is not the
guilty party.  
This was introduced into JES2 with new function when all systems are
running JES2 V1R8 in a sysplex. JES2 takes multiple $BR4 abends where
eventually an IPL is needed. The code that is failing is managing the
XEQCOUNT timers in the checkpoint.  The system that encountered this a
very heavily loaded batch processing system with many thousand of jobs
per hour. 

Circumvention is  

1. Run one of your LPARS in the SYSPLEX back at the z/OS V1R7 level. 

 2. Set MAXJOBS to some very high number and they think it would be
avoided.

When a fix comes out I will people know.   Jim
