• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There are times when abnormal re-starts of MQ or RIT can leave
  unwanted entries in the namelists 'COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT' and
  'RIT.DIVERT.RULES'.
  
  This can cause confusion to users and potentially slow the
  operation of the Exit.
  
  New recording and stub entries might be prevented if the
  namelist has been completely filled.
  
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  1. Stop RIT recording and MQ stubs.
  2. Manually delete entries from the namelist.
