I seriously doubt that a TMP can be invoked as the single job step
task in an address space, and I seriously doubt that an XCTL from an
authorized program would cause problems, although I also doubt that
there is a need to do that.

What is under discussion is authorized code, which is dangerous with
or without the involvement of the TMP.
