TCP interface is unusable after network problem. QTCPWRK job
still shows active, but can't be ended. MSD analysis shows the
QTCPWRK job waiting on a gate held by an SK-ASC task that is
waiting on a WaitList.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA46382 :

A deadlock was occurring in a small timing window where the
