This was seen after an IPL when multiple servers were being
started. A Deployment Manager failed with the 378 abend, and a
restart of the DMGR was successful.

Local fix

```
Restart the server
```

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.0 and V8.5                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An ABEND378/ABENDS378 occurs when       *
*                      starting a WebSphere address space      *
*                      which is configured to use WOLA.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
During WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA)
initialization, a race condition exists where multiple servers
within a WebSphere daemon group try to create a control block
used by the server instances within that group.  The servers
which do not 'win' the race must free the storage containing
the control block that they tried to initialize.  The storage
is released twice, and the second release results in an
ABEND378/ABENDS378 from the MVS STORAGE service.
The application server instances which receive the ABEND will
terminate.  The server instances can be restarted and will
not ABEND since the race condition no longer exists.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to prevent the ABEND378/ABENDS378 during WOLA
initialization.
