  section to indicate trace entries are not tallied for SYSTCPDA
  and SYSTCPOT trace types.
  - Sysplex storage freed to fix storage leak.
  - DISPLAY TCPIP,,OSAINFO command has been fixed to properly sort
  entries using the GRE protocol.
  - getHostID() calls enabled from within containers running in
  z/OS Container Platform.
