<<SNIP>> Oddly enough ... I noticed that, if you alter the
sequence to turn OFF the cache, the maximum assigned value in the
SYSSEQUENCES table does *not* get fixed ... and the next value
generated by the sequence will be based off the last cached
value.

The "Notes" for "Altering a sequence" in the following link for the SQL ALTER SEQUENCE documentation may explain the effect on the MAXASSIGNEDVAL, per "All the cached values are lost when a sequence is altered."?:
