It appears that patch (at patchlevel 12) doesn't detect that a patch has already been applied if the patch is to add lines to the beginning of a file. Re-applying the patch merely applies it at an offset. It seems this is a case that could be detected unambiguously. -- Steve Peltz (almost) CFI-G "Monticello traffic, Glider 949 landing 18, full stop"
