    *General fix*


  * Fixed an issue where the HMC became unresponsive after several hours
    and required a HMC reboot to return to normal operation.  This issue
    occurs when non-hscroot users run many command line queries and
    operations typically using scripts. This issue was introduced in HMC
    V8 R8.6.0 Service Pack 3.
