When using the -R (reverse patch) flag of patch, only the first
file is automatically patched in the reverse order.
For subsequent files patch "detects" that the patch was already aplied
and aks confirmation for patching the other way around.

Is this a know problem and does a patch exist for that?
My patch -v says:

	$Header: patch.c,v 2.0.1.6 88/06/22 20:46:39 lwall Locked $
	Patch level: 12

Is there a newer version?
