[news.software.b] 2.11 patch didn't work for me

naftoli@aecom.UUCP (11/23/86)

I couldn't get the first 2.11 patch to apply -- I got a message from patch,
Assertion failed: fillsrc==p_end+1 || fillsrc ==repl_beginning, file pch.c line 636
abort - core dumped.

I am using patch 2.0 under AT&T System V on a VAX.

Any help would be appreciated.

That's a bug in patch 2.0.  It's fixed in patch #3 to patch.  There
are a total of 5 patches for patch available.

The same thing happened to me until I put in the most recent patches
for 'patch' that had come over the net - then I retried and it worked fine.

I got an assertion failed message too.  Everything compiles, though.
