Yes it was IMS 2.2 and it did not actually fail in testing. It was in test
for quite a while and there was a lot of pressure to put it into production.
It crashed mid-morning as the national branch network came online on the
monday after it went live. It came up again, went down again, yo-yo'd a few
times and then stayed down. The real problem was in the restart and recovery
processing which changed in 2.2.
