[comp.os.minix] problems with fix.c

I just recieved the source to fix.c (thanks to those who responded!).
In trying to use it, I'm getting an error message that is confounding me.
Fix responds:  Fatal: cannot read <file name>  for any file I try to 
patch.

This error occurs on the first fopen in fix.c.  A perror inserted above the 
exit gives the error: "Not enough core."  I've checked file permissions,
etc, and have found nothing.  Simple test programs using fopen seem
to work fine.  So why does fix fail when it attempts to do an fopen?

Has anybody seen this problem?  (BTW, I'm using a IBM PC, 640K, 5Mb disk
partition, lots of free space, etc.)
