z/TPF Signal Events can run the system out of resources.

When using the z/TPF Signal Events software the system can run out of SWB resources. The current Signal events don't do enough resource checking while processing the dispatch queue. The use of a dispatch queue, where many small events can be queued quickly, can become huge messages after transformation is done. When the much larger messages are then placed onto XMITQs for transport they have the potential to cause an outage after depleting all the SWBs.
