 A fix may be available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Application server was started, but received an error during
initialization which caused him to terminate.  The following
error message for the control region was issued:
BBOU0038W TERMINATING THE CURRENT PROCESS, REASON=C9C21277.

However, the app server CR never terminated, and at the same
time could not accept any work.

From the console dump of the 'hang' address space, main thread
is in the process of termination

CEEOPE
pthread_exit
RasProcessTerm(int,unsigned int)
BBO_BOA::namingRegistrationComplete()
SMO_Impl::endOfJNDIRegistration()
SMO_Impl::registerHomes(acrw*)
BBO_BOA::impl_is_ready(CORBA::ImplementationDef*)
main
EDCZMINV    (main invocation event handler)
CEEBBEXT    (bootstrap routine)

Main thread should not issue pthread_exit when terminating.
Local fix
Cancel the address space manually.

****************************************************************
An initialization error leads to attempt to terminate the
server, but results in a call to pthread_exit on the main
thread.  Since the main thread is not a pthread, this can
result in a hang.
Problem conclusion
Changed error termination processing to abterm the main thread.
