APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using 64-bit ClearCase executables on 64-bit Linux, any
  attempt to ship packets FROM the 64-bit host will fail with
  "Error: no more memory available" in the shipping server logs. A
  manually executed shipping_server -poll may report errors. But
  also may not.
  
  The 9.0.1.5 host will RECEIVE packets without issue from other
  hosts.
  

Local fix

• Downgrading to 9.0.1.4 appears to eliminate the issue.
  Moving to 32-bit 9.0.1.5 also appears to eliminate the issue.
