Note that this is a problem within IBM's AIX Operating System,
not within IBM's VM Operating System.  Therefore, the following VM-related
advice may not be appropriate, but, you should get an attentative listener,
who should be able to refer you to a similar hot-line for the AIX system.

If you are not satisfied with IBM's VM software-support, and you believe
that you have exhausted all other avenues in their support structure,
but continue to have concerns that need to be addressed, then I recommend
that you telephone the "VM Customer Satisfaction Line" (1-800-4-CARE-IBM),
to get direct access to the group that develops, delivers, and maintains VM.
