  If the POSIX(ON) Language Environment run-time option
  is specified, a dump and/or traceback will not be produced
  after receiving either of the following messages:
  CEE5207E The signal SIGABRT was received  or

  after receiving either the CEE5207E or CEE5208S message,
  depending on how the TERMTHDACT run-time option is set.
