I have spoken with someone from Sigma Data who told me that 3.0.17, which
is now the latest version, and contains fixes for known security problems,
has only just started arriving in Australia.

It would seem more likely that the distribution channels between Sequent
and Sigma Data are a bit slow (this is just speculation, though).

Anyway, I am satisfied with this response, but I would be interested in
when Sequent owners in the US first saw 3.0.17 on their doorsteps.
