Steve, Update MAINT's directory entry so that the MAINT 0190, and MAINT 019E mdisk links are changed to: RR (you probably have them as MR right now). Unless maintenance is being applied, there is no reason (and many disadvantages, one which you just experienced) to anyone having a write link

Also the 19D disk has a shared segment for the FSTs. But, unlike fro 190 and 19E, there is no message telling you the saved segment is no longer used as the FST's have been updated. So, beside changing MAINT's directory to get 19D linked in RR, I had something like this in my and MAINT's PROFILE
