  host-file itself doesn't get changed.

  - change content to 'First'
  - save the file ? keep editor open
  - In RDz Menu ?? File ?? Restart
  - change content to 'Second'

Local fix

Problem summary

• Timestamps were not always correctly set and in some
  circumstances, BIDI checking was done when it was not needed.
  

Problem conclusion

• Only files that are not currenly being edited are now having
  their timestamp set to 0.  This means that open editors won't
  lose data.  Additionally, the code that does BIDI checking
  will only set BIDI properties if a resource is set to inherit
  them and there are changed BIDI options.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1.3 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
