I applied the patch and have for the first time fully re-built LIBC on my
Win 98 box without it stopping.  As expected no changes for Win 2K compared
to Charles patch I was previouslt using.

I had one problem in applying the patch to the source code from the
12-Aug-2001 CVS tarball, patch rejected the change at line 157. I cannot
couldn't find any differences betwern the line from CVS and the diff file
after I removed the first two characters of the diff file. I checked with a
hex viewer and could see any diffreneces. The info on the failure is below.
I was using patch version 2.5.3. The other chunk was applied correctly.

Any ideas on what may cause this? I tried again and again and it keeps on
failing and I can't see why.
