    ... patch deleted ...

    that fixed it, but i only this second noticed the "-R" for reversing
    the patch. i applied it normally against my 2.5.66-bk12 tree, and
    it apparently applied cleanly.

    wouldn't that suggest that that patch wasn't in my tree in the first
    place? i'm sure i'm up to bk12 at this point.
