Closed as program error.

Error description
During normal operation of a WebSphere for z/OS application
server, the servant region eventually ends with ABEND SEC3
reason code 000C0001. Three SVCDUMPs were collected on the way
down. The first SVCDUMP was caused by an exception thrown from a
JNI thread. This failure corresponds to a message logged into
the WAS Error Log at that time:
BBOS0112E Credential handling function
          RunAsSetSpecCred failed in USS callable service
          BPX1TLS  with  Return Value (hex): ffffffff,
          Return Code (hex): 9d, and Reason Code (hex): be8050f.
The BPX1TLS errno is EMVSERR, and the reason code 0be8050f says
that the invoker must have a task level ACEE to invoke BPX1TLS
but it does not.

Three SVCDUMPs were collected during termination.  The first
SVCDUMP was caused by an exception thrown from a JNI thread.
The BPX1TLS errno is EMVSERR, and the reason code 0be8050f says
that the invoker must have a task level ACEE to invoke BPX1TLS
but it does not. Callable service BPX1TLS is called to
synchronize the ACEE and USS security environments. The call
was failing because a proper ACEE was not on the calling thread.
Problem conclusion
The call that failed was a BPX1TLS call with TLS_TASK_ACEE#.
In the failed circumstance, the ACEE was to be removed from
the thread, and not replaced. The prior logic was to replace the
TCBSENV with a new ACEE, and then invoke BPX1TLS. BPXTLS failed
because the new ACEE pointer in TCBSENV was 0. In this scenario,
the BPX1TLS callable service needs to be called with
TLS_DELETE_THREAD_SEC#, followed by the clearing of TCBSENV.
