Hi Paul, All
The new SDL Hercules Hyperion 4.2 release, Fish just announced, contains a fix for the "quit" problem discussed in this thread. So, it's no longer necessary to use the workaround for TK4- environments I mentioned below, if one intends to use enhanced shutdown techniques (clay pigeon shooting) on the system. Nonetheless, I don't encourage using such techniques _at all_.
Cheers
Jürgen

Well, the same of course ;-). However with differing statistics. With all three sets of binaries it may well be that a whole series of runs comes out fine, and that all fail. So, our amount of samples is apparently far below statistical significance. Too bad, but not worthwhile to be pursued further at this point in time. I think the three major clues we got
- it is an old problem
- it is not TCAM related
- it is reliably reproducible (most of the time)
suffice to go back into an orderly mode of analysis. I'll dive into this again now, hoping for more luck than during the last try in May. It may take quite a while until I come back with results.
Until then you might still consider disabling the critical devices as a workaround. Simply create a file named tk4-.parm in tk4-\local_conf and enter these two lines into this file:
@ECHO OFF
SET REP101A=specific
Your "quit" problem will definitely be gone then.
Cheers

I have posted those results now.
I'm curious as to what happens on YOUR
system when you type "quit" after the IPL
is completed.
