I have already gone from the 5.1MP3A* patch to 5.1MP4 on all of the clients
running 5.1.

The version file does show that the client is running 5.1MP4 for every
client's version file that I have checked.

It may have been that the security patch to MP3A forgot to update. 

Anyway, there is still a security issue that is fixed by MP4.

I have had no misses on the version file check. 

I will cross check again since I have only looked on my Solaris and Windows
clients.

You can, but it won't do you any good.  Sometimes the file exists, and
sometimes it doesn't.  When it does exist, it won't necessarily be right.
You'll definitely be missing the information as to whether or not the
security patches were installed.
