Sounds like your problem(s) may differ from mine.

The following I snipped from Randy's reply about his 1458:

John,
 Do you use StreamX from Vesoft? If yes, we had the following system abort
on 6.5 pp2 + patches

System Abort 1458 from  Subsystem 102
Secondary Status: Info=-300, Subsys 107
System Halt 7, $05B2

 The system abort occurred when there is a typo in the job card and using
StreamX. You will get the error message "Nil ccb pointer - internal error.
(CIERR 9016)" when streaming the job with the typo. This corrupts the Job
Master Table and the next time a process transverses this table, a system
abort will occur. I think the command SHOWJOB will transverse this table.

 The problem was introduced with patch mpelxv2b, witch is on pp3 for 6.5.
You may want to call the RC to see if the problem exist on 7.0

Hope this helps.

Randy Breitfelder

So, I dunno as the saying goes. But if I were a betting man, I'd go for Randy's explanation I believe.

I might come in on the weekend and attempt to cause a crash and get a dump for RC....

Thanks for your info and interest,

Regards

One of my 6.0 systems had exactly the same fault today, we did a dump, and
it turned out to be a CGI script forked by APACHE that caused the bad
pointer.  Because it was a 6.0 machine and apache is not supported on it HP
stopped a that.

But on another 6.5 system I have we also got bad virtual memory pointers
with CGI scripts and apache.  This turned out to be a known unfixed problem
with the posix streams/ix subsystem, for that I was given a beta streams
patch that didn't fix the streams problem but, checked the pointers so they
would abort the offending process and not the system.

Just a thought, but the best thing is to check a memory dump as suggested :(
