[Brookins, Neil (Philadelphia)]

Thanks for the fix!  I've tested this specific use case and it does work correctly now.

Yes, PCA is passing on the Recommended flag here from 139944 to the
patch(es) which obsoleted it. Basically that's a good idea (as only
148338 contains the recommended fix(es) from 139944 now), but not when
the "--minimal" option is used.

I've put a fix into PCA which makes it not pass on the R flag with
"--minimal". This should fix it; try the development release of PCA.

Once again, thanks for the report!

Martin.
