Do yourself a favor and immediately run reclaim storage and then IPL.

You can wait for this weekend but I'm guessing you'll see some damaged
objects along the way.

Not quite immediately, but I did a RCLSTG. I brought the subsystems down right around 5 yesterday evening, and it was ready to re-IPL by 6. A bunch of damaged objects turned up, thankfully none of them appeared to be permanent user objects.

We'd had a power failure one night, late last week, that might have left a ticking time bomb in the system.

The most suspicious thing, to my eye at least, though, was a CPF0A9B from a QYPSPFRCOL job:

Message . . . . : Probe failed for category QHTTP.

Cause . . . . . : The probe that collects data for category QHTTP data
failed. The collector will stop data collection for this category.
Recovery . . . : Refer to the job log for more details about the problem.
Start data collection for this category to try data collection again.

It happened at least 15-20 minutes after the system became unresponsive, right about the time I first screamed for help yesterday.
