The maximum code segment size is tunable via SYSDUMP or INITIAL (the
boot program), and it would appear that you have some code segments in
program or SL files that are larger than your system's current
maximum.

If you do a coolstart or SYSDUMP (to cut a new cold load tape), answer
"Y" to "ANY CHANGES?" and then when it gets to "SEGMENT LIMIT
CHANGES?" answer "Y" again.  One of the questions you'll get after
that is "MAX CODE SEGMENT SIZE=nnnn (MIN=1024, MAX=16384)?" and you
can probably max it out at 16384.

Did the Y2K tapes come with an installation workbook?  Somewhere in
the traditional MPE V/E update notes was a set of questions that you
were supposed to work through that would yield the numbers for several
important tunables (based on your expected workload and some of the
products you might have on your subsys tape), then you were supposed
to cut a new cold load tape with SYSDUMP using these numbers and
reboot from that before starting the update.
