Hi Craig,

I found out why you abended and I didn't with that original 
test_Itemtables guy.

It was a combination of gcc stack management differences and an oops in 
the diskstats.c 'new' function.

If the attached patch had been in place originally, I would have 
suffered an abend too.

Thanks in advance for the push.

Regards,

Jim
