  When IMS Connect Extensions is performing RACF User
  verification in a Z/OS 1.10 environment, an abend S878
  can occur due to a change in processing of the
  MSGRTRN=YES request. Message ICH70001I is now returned
  for a successful verification of the User where
  previously they were not. This results in CEX not
  freeing the unexpected message returned storage.
  

Problem conclusion

• A change has been made to check for any returned messages
  and free the message storage as required
