Hello,

 PTF 1751 definately has a bug that causes problems for all remote file
systems.  This includes AFS.  (one of the remote filesystems we run at
CMU)

Though this bug exists in the operating system update one can update
other selected parts of the system using the updatep command.  If you
recieved 1751 to correct some problem other than the BASE SYSTEM 
PROGRAM you should be able to update just that component.  If a
particular component thinks it needs the version of the BASE SYSTEM
PROGRAM on 1751 it should check the version of the installed OS (called
opsys in /usr/lpp) using the prereque facilities and not install itself
without the new version of the OS.

Regards,

Paul
