SPAM update ends with tp error code 0219

Question

Hi,
when trying to update SPAM with the latest version (release 6.40), the process stops on phase "CHECK_REQUIREMENTS".
On the action log, we can see a tp error message with code 0219.
The log message includes this information:
Import phase 'CHECK_REQUIREMENTS' (28.01.2008, 16:48:58)
Error during executing the tp command 'tp CONNECT D10   ...'
tp return code: '0219' , tp message: 'tp got a signal (and terminated?)' , tp output:
  This is tp version 340.16.38 (release 640, unicode enabled)
  INFO: Exiting on signal 5. Further signals will be ignored ....
  tp got signal 5 and will produce a core now!
  tp returncode summary:
  TOOLS: Highest return code of single steps was: 0
  ERRORS: Highest tp internal error was: 0219
Interrupt the import due to an error situation (28.01.2008, 16:48:59)
Display detailed informations concerning the error in phase 'CHECK_REQUIREMENTS'
Abort the import due to an error situation (28.01.2008, 16:49:22)
Another information:
we have just updated the kernel level to 213, including the latest tp component.
Does anyone has a clue about what's going on?
Thanks,
Antonio

Hi,
on OS level I get the same error message. I have SAP installed on a IBM iSeries and kernel was updated to level 213 (it has no differences between database independent and database-related objects).
Here's an overview of the tp connect D10 pf=tpparam_instD10 command, issued on OS level:
