On zOS (or OS390 / MVS) all S###-abends are OS System Abends. The 0C4 indicates a memory protection exception, mostly caused by invalid pointers.
It should come with a 'REASON'-code that could be helpful for further analysis.

In this specific case, my guess would be that the OP is either hit by bug 5846643 or bug 6070239 (see Metalink).
If neither of these seems applicable, I would suggest opening a SR.
