  ****************************************************************
  01. The detection mechanism of formatable XML data was not
      correctly allowing for ASCII data.
  02. Invalid storage was not being correctly allowed for.
  03. Plug-in uppercases passwords before authentication, which
      causes problems with RACF mixed-case password policies.
  04. Source parse buffer too small.
  05. DCB in Working-Storage causes FA to 'trim' base locator
      storage.
  06. The IDIS subsystem can start using high amounts of CPU after
      an XCF slowdown.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. ASCII data is now correctly accounted for.
  02. Storage check has now been inserted.
  03. Plug-in leaves the password alone and sends it as is.
  04. Source parse buffer size corrected.
  05. ACB/DCBs located in COBOL storage areas no longer affect
      base locator storage lengths.
  06. The code has been updated to recognise the problem and
      correct it.
