  It appears that te problem is because memory is not freed betwee
  n message segments.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The elamem pointer was being reset to null without freeing
  the associated memory in a couple of places. In addition,
  the rts memory chains was also being reset to null without
  freeing its memory as well. In all systems, this was not a
  problem, except for IMSVS. In IMSVS, the transaction doesn't
  really go away because it waits for the next queue message
  to come in. This causes a leakage of memory to occur, until
  the region runs out.
  

Problem conclusion

• Software updated. Fixtest available.
  

Temporary fix
