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 on the way down. 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 prior logic was to replace the TCBSENV with a new ACEE,
and then invoke BPX1TLS (which failed because the ACEE pointer
in TCBSENV was 0). The code was modified so that BPX1TLS
is now called with TLS_DELETE_THREAD_SEC#, followed by the
clearing of TCBSENV.
