DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70525 Status: Closed

AN OPERATION REQUIRING A SORT THAT EXPERIENCES INSUFFICIENT MEMORY SCENARIO
MAY TRAP.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When Sort is using INCREMENTAL memory allocation (this is 
default for most sorts), and sort is not able to allocate enough 
memory for binsort structures to perform binsort on all records 
that were cached before spilling, then sort will perform the 
binsort on smaller chunks of records. In this scenario, sort 
will also check if each of the sorted chunks is already is 
sorted order. The method used to perform this check may cause a 
trap. 
We believe the problem is not pervasive. 
Symptom of this trap may differ slightly at the top of the 
stack, but will always contain 
sqlsBinSortIncremental()->sqlsCheckFSEQAcrossSpills()->sqlsInser 
tCompare().
