[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction pattern for annual serial

[Dan Wells]

Hello,

I am also unfortunately not able to reproduce this problem on 2.2.  If anyone can reproduce this, could you please post both your pattern code and also the holding code of your starter, along with your exact Evergreen version?

Thanks,
Dan
