Closed as program error.
Error description
After some time dynamically loaded APPC programs fail to start, the error log reports a security failure (passwords do not match).
Local fix
Stop and restart CommServer.
Problem summary
There is a memory leak introduced when adding the enhancement IZ78246, when a password fails to match the snatpsrvd process fails to release memory used for an internal error string. Over time this memory leak prevents the snatpsrvd from processing more incoming APPC conversations.
Problem conclusion
Code has been changed to prevent memory leak.
Temporary fix
