I have tried the patches included in both bug reports, but the patches failed
for me. Perhaps the patches were botched by the HTML display on the BTS? or
perhaps I am not going about the patching right.
Can you verify that the patches are or are not displayed correctly on the BTS,
and secondly, how exactly to I go about patching these files?
I attempted to copy and paste the patch text from the BTS to text files, and
then use this command to do the patch:
(in the directory with the files needing to be patched)
cat patchfile | patch
If this is not the correct way, could you clue in me on how to patch these
files?
I don't do much patching, except for the kernel source, in which I use:
cat patchfile | patch -p0
Thanks,
