Walter and co.,
I just created a phantom on LCN10637863 by adding a $c to the 049.
However, this didn't happen when I added 049s ($a and $c) to my serial test
records (see Stephanie's test puppies). I'm not sure what this distinction
is...if a 049 exists without a $c and you add one, the system thinks it's a
holding...but if you add a 049 $a and $c, it doesn't create a phantom.
Huh?

I've found that I can cause a record that was not exhibiting the
phantom holding phenomenon to do so by adding a $c to the 049 field.
It appears from my brief sampling that records without 049 $c's are
not causing the phantoms to appear; can others confirm or deny?
Very lifelike, Walter
