[comp.bugs.4bsd] A bug in "patch". Looking for the patch.

dimitri@cui.UUCP (KONSTANTAS Dimitri) (06/04/88)

I run into a bug in the "patch" program.
(Patch Kit version 2.0 by Lary Wall)
The bug comes up with patches like

***************
*** 627,639 ****
                    XAllocColor(dpy, DefaultColormap(dpy, scr), &ml->bg))) {
                  ml->fg.pixel = MTextForground;
                  ml->bg.pixel = MTextBackground;
- 		alternateGC = False;
              } else {
                  AdjustMaxColors(ml->fg.pixel);
                  AdjustMaxColors(ml->bg.pixel);
- #ifdef broken
- 		alternateGC = FALSE;
- #endif
              }
          }
  
--- 650,658 ----

The error message is something like:
assertion failed in pch.c line 636

The question is obvious: Is there a new release of the patch program?
Where can I find a patch for the bug?

Please reply directly. (if possible!) I hate all those messages
in the net replying to silly questions (like mine!) and overloading it!
