A very few have reported problems with applying patches.  Thisis confusing, since I use a very strict procedure when making a patch.Every time I make a new patch, I always reapply each patch to acopy of the original release to make a base line for the newdiff.3.10 --p1--> 3.11 --p2--> 3.12 --p3--> 3.15  \                                              --- diff -c --> p6                             3.16development /Then, I copy the 3.15 to a 3.15copy directory and apply the new patch 6to it.3.15copy --new p6--> 3.16suspect \                                  ------- diff -c --> should produce nothing                 3.16development /
