Youe need to make that modification when linking *all* or in your case *both* images (ie the Shareable data common) and the images that will link to it. Otherwise look at the listings and see which attributes are different in each object. The PSECT attr default changed from SHR to NOSHR when we went from VAX to Alpha. Please also be aware that part of some language calling standard means that your PSECTs will be rounded to multiples of 8 bytes. Which is peachy except the MACRO compiler is not restricted by this standard so you may have to put your own padding bytes at the end.

But if Wall Street called it "insurance", then it would be subjected to government regulation. So basically they were selling insurance but didn't have enough money in reserve for insurance payouts when there was disaster (sub prime mortages) p.s. One of the paper documents is titled "Archimedian Copulas". Google this phrase then view some of the financial voodoo.
