Subject:	The "Can't backup file..." patch Win95+LFN bug

I was going to try to debug patch this weekend so unzipped the
sources (renamed the truncated filenames :-) and built an
unstripped debug executable. The "Can't backup file..." bug
had mysteriously vanished. "I know", I thought, and I recompiled
with LFN=n. Nope. Still no bug.

So, IMHO, either this is because I built my libc with LFN undefined
or the distributed patch.exe was built with an old libc. (This is
patch 2.1 as distributed with DJGPP v2.01 BTW.)
