    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    Remote APPC application sent bad data with 0000 for the GDS
    length, the minimum is 4. The remote system also deactivated the
    session (UNBIND type normal). When the local application issued
    a RECEIVE_AND_WAIT the crash occurred when CS/AIX tried to
    handle the two errors together.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been corrected to properly handle the incorrect GDS
    variable length.
    

Temporary fix
