If the system does not have MPEMXE5B installed that patch should correct
the problem. The current top of the supersede tree is now MPEMXR6B.

If the system has MPEMXE5B installed you should contact the Response
Center.

The SA1007 is usually caused by a race condition mapping a file out of memory.
Two (or more) processes start the operation, one wins and maps the file out
the other(s) are left holding a lock on an object that no longer exists. The file
object in question needs to be > 1GB in order for this race condition to occur
because files that large are mapped out incrementally. Files < 1GB are
mapped out all at once.
