CORRECTION FOR APAR MA41117 :
-----------------------------
The service TCP/IP stack (used for LAN console) timed out while
attempting to activate the LAN adapter. While attempting to
retry the activation, it deleted a control block used during the
previous activation attempt. Once the initial activation finally
completed, the deleted control block caused an error in the
hardware driver that resulted in system termination.

The service TCP/IP stack has been changed to only delete the
activation control block after the hardware driver completes the
activation, regardless of how long that takes. It will still
perform its normal retries however.

The problem causing the activation to time out is a separate
issue that is not addressed by this fix. This fix just prevents
that problem from potentially causing the system to crash.
