I'm pretty sure this is the update tape that follows 3001; it updates
ypbind to fix problems with -m and fixes a problem with the update
commands.  The 3001 tape says "3001" on it pretty clearly.  This new
tape hasn't arrived here yet (although our IBM rep told me about it
weeks ago) so I can't be absolutely sure.
