I thought it was our shop that did that. :-)

Kidding aside, don't you have a preventive maintenance philosophy
there? We've had that fix on since April this year. According to
the APAR text the fix has been available since October of 2004
(a year ago) and was on RSU0503. We usually try to do RSU maintenance
on a quarterly basis.

PTF List:
Release 706 : UA14015 available 04/10/13 (F410 )
Release 707 : UA14016 available 04/10/13 (F410 )
Release 708 : UA14017 available 04/10/13 (F410 )
Release 709 : UA14018 available 04/10/13 (F410 )

I know if took an outage on that error and the management above
our level found out an RSU fix was available 6 months ago, we would
be the ones in the hot seat.
