Yup, missed it.  

I couldn't get the patch to install, failed on "5 of 8 hunks."  Downloaded the 
newest 1.13.25-5 and it seems to have incorporated that patch.  I have not much 
experience applying diff patches, am used to either RPM patches or Solaris 
patches using patchadd or installpatch.  What I tried was:

I cut 'n pasted his two patches (I guess there are two, he calls them regular 
diff and patch diff), INCREMEN.C.DIFF and INCREMEN.C.PATCH into two files, 
patchfile1 and patchfile2.  Then used:

sadsack(root)# patch < patchfile1

can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I note that his patches were based on 1.13.25-2 source... I dunno' which 
version I had as `tar --version` yielded only 1.13.25.

thanks for your help.
