Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Any users of MQ clustering, who have installed one of the
  affected fix packs, are potentially affected by this issue.
  9.2.0.20 and later levels of 9.2 LTS are affected.
  9.3.0.10 and later levels of 9.3 LTS are affected.
  9.3.3 CD and 9.3.4 CD are affected.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A new code branch was added via APAR IT43646 into the affected
  levels of MQ code.
  
  The new branch allowed a Delete of a CLUSRCVR channel to be
  processed, when this was not correct as per the design. This new
  branch did not initialise a pointer variable needed later in the
  code, and therefore it invalidly had a null (zero) value. When
  de-referenced in the later code, this gave a SIGSEGV.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code branch has been corrected to avoid this issue
  occurring.
