This helps explain some aspects of the observed behaviour. I have  
noticed that debug on ILE programs often gets its tits in a tangle.  
It used to be that debug didn't interfere with program operation but  
in the ILE world it now seems to be more intrusive than in OPM. This  
sort of thing happens on other platforms frequently (e.g., run  
without debug and error occurs, run with debug to resolve error and  
program runs OK).

Even though activation groups are scoped to each job (excluding  
shared activation groups) debug does seem to "remember" stuff and  
seems to have a "quantum effect" between jobs when debugging the same  
program. When debug starts behaving this way for me I just signoff  
all sessions and that cleans things up. Shouldn't have to do that of  
course but unless repeatable there is little point opening a PMR on it.
