Never do a ^D to get out of a DOSTATS.  The ^D works, but it doesn''t turn off the statistics gathering.  By the time you try to recover, the disk will have filled up and you will have fallen into SWAT, having lost everything.  Can this be remedied?'

-----------'
(lmm': this can be fixed by simple RESETLST in DOSTATS, probably.)'

AR''s 124 of at most Moderate impact, because it is easy to avoid or work around them.'
'
Ar 124': Impact moderate, difficulty easy.'


Workaround: Call GATHERSTATS() to turn off stats gathering after ^D
