  RC=18.
  .
  In the SYSTRACE of an SVC dump of the S605 (you may
  need to set a SLIP TRAP to capture the SVC DUMP) you find that
  the area pointed to by R1 on the SVC call is not a valid
  parameter list for the SVC 5 call. An RC18 on the SVC5 call
  means;
  .
  An error occurred when the system tried to process an
  EC, EU, LC, LU, VC, or VU form of the FREEMAIN macro. A reason
  code in the SDWACRC field of the system diagnostic work area
  (SDWA) explains the error:
   18 - The address list is in
  protected storage.
  .
  The error may not occur if you run the
  formatter again, or if you run it on another LPAR. Whether the
  abend occurs depends on the residual data at the address
  pointed to by the parameter list for the SVC 5 call.
