DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

In partitioned environment (DPF), db2look with "-l" switch, used
to obtain the database layout information (tablespaces,
partition groups etc.), will use an excessive amount of memory
for databases with a high number of DMS tablespaces.

Depending on the number of tablespaces, it might cause paging or
even a system crash. Estimated memory usage from the command
will be:

2MB *  * 

Problem is specific to Db2 version 10.5 Fix Packs 9 and 10 and
is similar to APAR IT10480 (fixed in 10.5 FP7).
