- $ cd /
- $ ln -s /usr/src/patches patches

- Then if patches command still hangs, read the /patches/tmp/*
- log files: they are a log of all steps followed to install
- and deinstall the crashing patch. You should be able to find
- and correct the error.
- An example: patch xx refused to install on my system: I checked
- out the log files, and found it did a chown root.wheel on a file.
- Since I have not group wheel any more, it hangs.

- Have luck
