Hi Kurt,

I believe we received new PTFs - with RSU1903 being assigned to them at the 
same time. That's the behaviour I'm querying - and I think you agree - once IBM 
has announced RSU1903, there should have been no further PTFs with that RSU, 
whether I specify RECOMMENDED or ALL.

I understand the HIPER/PE fixes, but they surely should not be assigned RSU1903 
after the publish date?

Well, we're coming up to another RSU date in the next few days. I can attempt 
to repeat this, and see what happens.
