At this late date since your query, I assume we were all enjoying
the holidays since I have not seen a reply (unless sent directly).

What you need to do is include either:

    'EXECOS' in front of the program causing problems
       (i.e., 'EXECOS MYMODULE' (See CMS Command Reference))

    'STRINIT' (See System Programmer's Guide)

I now use EXECOS as my standard method; I am not certain, but I believe
EXECOS cleans up the pointers while STRINIT does this AND clears
storage (more CPU time?).
