	Hi all, the problem has been solved, finally! It turned out that SNA was at fault. After a looooong investigation (with the precious help of Phil Grice and Albert Godfrind) we eventually built up an exception handler (thanks, Norm, for the suggestion) that basically put the server in HIB state as soon as the ACCVIO showed up. At that point we forced an Rdb bugcheck and immediately after we produced a system dump. This allowed us to see that: a) it wasn't an Rdb problem and b) that the problem arose with the installation of 6.0-15 because the failing instruction used R9 while in 6.0-12 (the version that was previously installed) the same instruction used R15. With this info we started to investigate about the SNA3270 part, to discover that the version that we had was V1.4. We tried to install V1.5, and automagically the problem went away! I enter this as a reference for yet another strange problem dealing with VMS 6.2 and layered. Thanks to everybody. Cheers, /max

	I hope you folks took notes while watching Phil and Albert do their work. This is the kind of thing I would expect the services organization to be able to do without assistance from engineering.
