Rob,

You put the fear of God in me so I immediately did an IPL and it doesn't
seem to have addressed anything that I can see.  The entries still show
up as Not Installed on WRKPTFGRP.  Note that I am running in ##MACH#B
since I started the PTF apply process.  Here are some screen shots of my
"PTF state"
as it stands:

                              Display PTF Status

                                                            System:
