Error description

  • When an INGTIMER is purged then the internal cglobals are not
    cleaned up (deregistered).
    As a result, an INGTIMER PURGE command will always attempt to
    purge non-existent timers because the internal 0TMR cglobals are
    still pointing to them.
    In case there are large numbers accumulated over time, this can
    then result in msgDSI374A THRESHOLD REACHED, number BUFFERS ON
    MESSAGE QUEUE OF task.
