I believe I reported this about 5 months ago.  I don't remember if
there was any reply, but the situation hasn't changed:

Every login gets this in the console:

  02:33 This system is in the middle of an update.
  02:33 Please contact Athena Operations.

And:

  nw12-risk1% tail -2 /etc/athena/version
  Athena Workstation (RSAIX) Version 7.7E Tue Aug 09 01:23:30 1994
  Athena Server (RSAIX) Version Update Tue Aug  9 01:23:35 1994

  nw12-risk1% cat /srvd/.rvdinfo
  Athena RVD (RSAIX) Version 7.7F Wed Aug 24 07:48:43 1994

Waiting 'til the patch release at the end of this month probably isn't
worthwhile because if this is fixed now, it will autoupdate when the
next release comes out.  (ie: you won't save any effort by waiting)

The contact for that cluster is user "rachel".
