I have once, perhaps twice, got in a situation where an attempt
to APPLY a defective, perhaps chimeric, PTF left the CSI so
damanged that an attempt to RESTORE failed.  Subsequent attempts
to APPLY REDO failed because SMP/E noted that the RESTORE had
failed; further attempts to RESTORE failed because the PTF was
not recorded as APPLYed.  I re-installed.  But I'm not our
customer; we made the PTF right before it went to field.

No one has much noted my suggestion to inspect the Binder
SYSPRINT (SMP00040) for IEW####W messages, or have we got
beyond that point?

BYPASS(PRE) is not a solution; it usually makes things much
worse.  As does BYPASS(MODID).

We have had competent customers review HOLDDATA comments;
conclude correctly that the documented introduced defect
was not relevant to their configurations; and APPLY
BYPASS(HOLDERR(aparnum)) beneficially.  Be informed, and
be specific about the aparnum(s).
