Definitely look at quotas.
I've seen this, and it's virtually impossible to finally nail down: telephone
support (UK) spent a lot of time (& several upgrades) trying - incidence is now 
very low, but it still happens occasionally.

Raise UAF quotas: WSdef/quo/extent & PGflquota - I've got 2k/4k/16k & 100k,
but my screen depth is less than yours. The WS quotas do seem to matter,
although they really shouldn't. Note also that the VIRTUALPAGECNT system
parameter is effectively an upper bound for PGflquota, so be prepared to raise
that too. The WS system parameters should be out of sight already on a well
configured system (see recommendations for backup).

I'd also recommend upgrading to 710G3/4 - I'm on G3 which significantly reduced
the incidence of the problem.

Also talk to Telephone Support, if you haven't already: I don't recall fatal
error 635 - I got %system-f-accvio.
