And for
QDB_DUB_OKAY The task has not been dubbed; an attempt to dub
the task will probably succeed. The service has
determined that an OMVS segment exists for the
task. However, it has not checked for other
potential errors. It is possible that the task may not
have the proper UID and GID set up in the security
profile, causing a subsequent dub failure.

So you can get a QDB_DUB_OKAY from querydub(), and then it can fail on
exactly the kinds of security system setup things that I listed in the
post on MVS-OE. Have I mentioned how much I dislike this wishy-washy
approach to code and explanations in the UNIX world...? It took a fair
bit of complaining before IBM added the _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST option;
before that you could only set _BPX_SHAREAS=YES, and if it couldn't
honour it, well it just silently ignored it.
