  The following chain of messages are issued when a virtual tape
  is to be be read using a PAT alias volume.  Thereafter the job
  is EQC-ed by VTFM.
  
  1. On the job log:
     HVT308I /        /S1      /SYSUT1  /EC0001/ZZ0000/M20.EC0001
  
  2. On the server log:
     HVT022I MOUNTTAP ACCEPTED FOR VOLUME=ZZ0000(ZZ0000), CUU=040
     HVT332E I/O ERROR ON VOLUME=ZZ0000, RC=18 (READ FROM
             NON-EXISTING TAPE)
  
  Additional symptoms:
  1. ZZ0000 is a PAT alias volume.
  2. HVT022I message lists ZZ0000 as the virtual tape real volume
     serial number.
  
  In the above scenario, VTFM attempts to read the non-existing
  ZZ0000 virtual tape (which in fact is a PAT alias volume).
  It should have rather read the real VTFM tape using the PAT
  alias volume, hence the failure.
  
  This problem is caused by an internal logic flaw that under
  certain timing circumstances lets VTFM clear the internal PAT
  entry before it is being used by the mount process.
  
  The fix delays the internal PAT entry clear so that it is
  cleared only after it is used by the mount process.
