Don't even think of using fields like CVTUSER and TCBUSER unless there is some way to be sure that nobody else is or ever will be using them. BTDT,GTS.

Where is a good place to stash this? I suppose I could create an N/T pair but this seems a bit cumbersome just to pass a single address within an address space. There is the TCBUSER field in the top-level TCB (IEAVAR00) but that's a bit scary. I create an ACEE and that has a field ACEEAPTR which is reserved for the application, so that is a possibility. What do other people do? Am I missing something blindingly obvious?!
