  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A previous APAR, PM19349, fixed a       *
  *                      null parameter, "parent", but it used   *

  ****************************************************************
  A previous APAR, PM19349, fixed a null parameter, but it used
  a wrong value for that. This led to files wrongly deleted
  during nodesync
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for the above problem is to set a correct value (""
  instead of "/") when "parent" is null.
  
  This fix replaces and overrides PM19349.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.39.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
