Problem description:
DB2 may abend due to a trap (prior to Version 9.7 Fix Pack 5) or 
query may fail with SQL0901N (Reason "Bad victimPageHeader ") 
(Version 9.7 Fix pack 5 or 6) if the following occurs: 
 
- DB2 is running with configuration where sort memory is 
constrained (and may also be throttled to minimum allowances) 
- we are running an OLAP query that processes large amounts of 
data, 
 
An example of stacks trace for an abend that can happen in V9.7 
FP4 and prior: 
 
sqlri_buffer_fix_page 
sqlriScalagRecreatePageHdr 
sqlriScalagSearchPageHdrCache 
sqlri_buffer_fix_page_N_ptrs 
sqlri_scalag_aggregator 
sqlri_scalag_aggNfind_bot 
sqlri_scalag 
sqlriset 
sqlriSectInvoke 
 
An example of SQL0901N that can happen in V9.7 FP5 and later:
