2072912 - Signal 11 in modules search_tbt and strncopy - SAP ASE for BS

• You are running applications on the SAP ASE database
• While generating a stack trace error on the ASE, a SIGSEGV (Signal 11) or timeslice error is observed in search_tbt() or strncpy().
  Below is an example of the stacktrace when this problem occurs:
