Ok, here it is folks. Minnesota did not appear to get patch #5 for Larry
Wall's patch program. It also appears as if a lot of people out there did
not receive a copy, so I am posting it. This is version has been pulled from
Larry Wall's mailer daemon, so it should be official.

[The latest patch for patch version 2.0 is #6.]
mailpatch speaking for lwall
System: patch version 2.0
Patch #: 5
Priority: HIGH
Subject: Patch misplaces patches when fuzz factor > 0
Authorial-Remark: OOPS.
From: erix!per (Per Hedeland)
Description:
If a fuzz factor > 0 is used when applying a patch hunk, it will
be applied (fuzz factor) lines too far into the file.
Fix: Since patch_match starts checking "fuzz" lines into the patch,
it must (of course) add "fuzz" to the starting point in the
file as well.
From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your patch source
directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle".
If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,
or get patch.
If patch uses a fuzz factor to apply this, you're screwed.
If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
have been applied. See the patchlevel.h file to find out what has or
has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
If you are missing previous patches they can be obtained from me:

If you send a mail message of the following form it will greatly speed
processing:
Subject: Command
@SH mailpatch PATH patch 2.0 LIST
^ note the c
where PATH is a return path FROM ME TO YOU in bang notation, and LIST
is the number of one or more patches you need, separated by spaces,
commas, and/or hyphens. Saying 35- says everything from 35 to the end.
You can also get them by anonymous FTP from sdc-camarillo.arpa.
