Same as yours:

This is a brand-new installation - I've never had Hercules or any other VM/370 system installed before.? Despite that, I'm not a newbie - I was a prolific VM software author and sysprog for about 20 years. ? I have not been able to reproduce, using some large TEXT files.
I wouldn't call this one large - 170 cards, about 8K of code data.? I've written much larger programs in the past :-)? The failure does appear to have random aspects - running the same testcase?repeatedly produces varying results, and the only reason I started seaching for a good testcase?was that I've had this happen randomly before.
I'm going to work on narrowing it down, and I'm going to see if I can figure it out from the code on the MAINTC user (which I think is identical to that at? - correct?)
