Error description

• ISF452E SDSFAUX communications failed, return code 0x00000008,  
  reason code 0x00360806" received when using new SDSF commands.
  For example, LPA.
  This APAR also fixes the following issues:
  --SET SCREEN command popup usage can cause an ABEND U0091.
  --WHO results can show garbage for the ISPF level
  --During the SDSFAUX server startup, due to an unnecessary
    authority check, the SDSFAUX server may fail to initialize
    with this message:
    HSF0067E CSVDYLPA add for module HSFSRVRM failed
    RC=00000004 RSN=00000401 DIAG=20004002
  -- With PTF UI90032 installed and SDSF class not active:
     1. Of all the new command offered by the SPE only LPA
        shows up on the SDSF PRIMARY OPTION MENU.
     2. Entering any other new command introduced with the SPE
        such as LNK, APF PAF, PARM or SYS will give you message
        COMMAND NOT AUTHORIZED and you will not get the new panel.
        The LPA command will be the only one that will work.
  -- An abend S0C4 in ISFDRXMN can occur when terminating the
     SDSF/Java environment
  -- Color settings for Operlog may not be honored or may be
     incorrect
  -- The WHO command does not show the ISPF level or shows bad
     information
