Oh boy, I missed something.  Is this repeatable?  I think I saw this
myself somewhere along the line but I thought I had fixed the problem. 
Since my time is pretty much taken up for the next week or so, I don't
know when I'll be able to check.

I just looked at the attachment.  There are two ".orig"s per file.  One
is on the `diff' statement and is ignored (I hope) by `patch'.  The
second is one line down on the "old" file identifier (---) and `patch'
does use that.  Which one was your `patch' making complaints about?

STDERR is extremely noisy as it is.  In my case, at this time, I think
I'd add on the order of 7000+ extra lines when I use '-L' that I'd need
to winnow to find any important data.  Besides, you can't forget that
god called "upward compatibility" you know (;-}).

And yes, if you meant "Connection timed out", I think that they are
distinct at least from a Systems Administrator (me) point of view.
