What does that mean? If your system has the most recent RSU that the
ISV installed but the ISV installed a PTF that you didn't, is it the
same service level?

Customer: On our test system at current service level, the
         problem still occurs.

The problem turns out to be due to a PTF that the ISP does not have
on, or to be fixed by a PTF that the customer does not have. Unless
the holddata have not changed, it is highly unlikely that two systems
"at the same service level" actually have the same service.
