[comp.sources.d] patch - bug or feature?

It appears that patch (at patchlevel 12) doesn't detect that a patch has
already been applied if the patch is to add lines to the beginning of a file.
Re-applying the patch merely applies it at an offset. It seems this is a case
that could be detected unambiguously.
