"SHOWPROC" will only return information about "LIVE" processes. While
you received no data the first time or two, that does not mean the
session did not exist. It probably means the process was terminating.
 
Subsequently, you got an error and the CI aborted because the
session/process the command was looking at terminated after pointers
to its data structures had been gathered.
 
There have been various problems with SHOWPROC since day one but
most have been fixed. I suggest you contact the RC and have them/us
investigate it. Chances are there is a patch for this.
