Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR is a logical route of FIN APAR PM39441.
  
  Subpool 0 key 8 storage allocated by EZBSOH03 not freed when
  application subtask terminates without issuing TERMAPI call.
  

Local fix

• Issue TERMAPI before terminating the subtask.

  Module EZBSOH03 is called by an application subtask as part
  of TCPIP socket processing (e.g. EZASMI or EZASOKET). EZBSOH03
  proceeds to allocate a dynamic storage area in subpool 0
  key 8. This storage area remains allocated until the subtask
  issues a TERMAPI call. If the subtask is attached with the
  SZERO parameter (subpool 0 storage shared), and the subtask
  detaches without first issuing a TERMAPI call, then the
  EZBSOH03 dynamic storage area does not get freed until the
  application main socket API task is terminated.  This can
  lead to a slow growth of subpool 0 key 8 storage over time.

Problem conclusion

• Changes have been made to the sockets API modules to release
  user autodata storage when the task terminates.
