If we (collective "we", including SSA) knew _all_ the answers to this, there 
wouldn't _BE_ an INV971D!  Without commitment control, there's no way to 
control all the reasons that allocation imbalances can occur.  I would 
challenge anyone to point out an equivalent package on any platform not using 
CC that doesn't have an equivalent to INV971D (even if it's just written 
in-house by the people using it).  Over the past 20 years I've worked on over 
20 packages on four different vendor platforms that did allocations -- every 
single one had a "resync" program that utilized data from a file that did not 
get damaged to correct data in all of the ones that did.
