Ok, it was a restore/object conversion that did it. what surprised me was that
it happened even tho the restore command has frcobjcnv(*sysval) and sysval
qfrccvnrst = '0' (which means don't force conversion). 

The apar II09367 explained that if a program is created on RISC, saved to a CISC
release level, and then restored on RISC; the programs are automatically and
unconditionally converted to RISC format during the restore.

Fortunately there were only 2 programs being restored, and only dragged the
system down for 10 minutes. I need to have a talk with that vendor though.

btw, the user that did the restore happens to be one that I log all commands for
using the audit journal, so it was real easy to see just what command was run.

Tasks beginning with 'LD'  are Load/Dump tasks.  Was some nice user
doing an interactive save or restore?
Or worse, as you have a RISC system, was some nice user restoring a
library from a CISC machine and specifying (either based on sysval
QFRCCVNRST, or via the FRCOBJCVN parm on RSTOBJ/RSTLIB) that CISC to
RISC object conversion should be done during the restore operation ?
