Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V6.1, V8.0, and V8.5 for z/OS        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Daemon does not come all the way down   *
*                      after RRS becomes unavailable.          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The daemon is most of the way down but did not come down
completely because the main thread is waiting in LE for all
threads to come down. Thread 008ACC68 is waiting in GRS for
an ENQ held by the main thread so it can not come down. This
deadlock prevents the daemon from coming down.

Also seen is an ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 in bbodenfl at offset 230.
The 0c4 abend is in bbodenfl's CLEANUP_RTN. CLEANUP_RTN  was
called by BBORFRR that was processing a different abend.
BBORFRR's FRR handles the 0c4 abend and retries back to the
first FRR which takes a dump and percolates.

Problem conclusion

Changed the code in RasAtProcessExit to log the error in a way
that does not get the ENQ. Changed bbodenfl to not register
the unnecessary cleanup routine.

APAR PM81463 is currently targeted for inclusion WebSphere
Application Server Fix Packs 6.1.0.47, 8.0.0.7, and 8.5.5.

The fix will also be delivered as sysrouted APAR PM84856 in
WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.0.29 for z/OS.
