My thought was that 'FI'ing actually deletes, then writes. So, if there is some kind of INODE system for UV, Possible that the phantom was still writing to the old INODE, and now the &PH& is using a new INODE.

I can clear the error log in Jbase, both on AIX and Windows, and it still puts new messages in it after I've written the empty record back. No clue why UV would do that. Perhaps it tried to open it and found it locked? SWAG, I know.
