Oops, right you are. I made an updated patch (and the tar-file was
obviously correct before).

People with an incomplete patch: I'd suggest that you first reverse the
patch if you already applied it (using the "-R" switch to patch), and
then download the new patch (patch-2.1.36.gz: 407461 bytes). Of course,
if you have a fast connection you can always just get the while source
archive rather than reversing patches that have already been applied.

I think all the new files were for other architectures than the x86, so
the old patch probably resulted in a working x86 system. However, not
getting the updated patch wil eventually result in patch errors in the
future..
