    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * oncheck -pr aborts with "Segmentation fault" when primary    *
    * and mirror chunk reserved pages are located in different     *
    * chunks. These are extended chunk reserved pages. The SEGV    *
    * occurs because oncheck code tries to read from an            *
    * un-initialized chunk descriptor.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    * Please upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC9 or higher when possible.     *
