The archive on cse.ogi.edu is now up-to-date.  In the tar.Z file I have
included a subdirectory "fixed" which has the patched versions of lock.c
and xcreat.c (affects you only if you use DOT_LOCK).

What flavor of "patch" are you using?  Patch does try to be clever and

??  Otherwise it may be attempting to patch the wrong copy of makefile.sys.v.
