IC81742: EXPORT SERVER OR EXPORT NODE CAUSE SERVER TO CRASH AT MALLOC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Exporting a proxy node which contains many agent nodes can cause
  Tivoli Storage Manager Server to crash.
  
  L2/Customer Diagnostics:
  
  This issue can be recreated by associate many agent nodes to a
  proxy target node.
  
  For example: Node_target is a proxy target node, it has 250
  agent nodes. The server can crash during "export node
  Node_target" or "export server filedata=none"
  .
  The call stack looks like:
