  24. I had exactly the same problem.  It turns out that patch 602 and 603 patch
  25. the same file (pccons.c) and they are mutually exclusive.  You'll notice
  26. that in with pccons.c you'll also find pccons.pl[123] and pccons.rej.  The
  27. patch 603 changes pccons.c and then bombs out leaving the .rej.
  28.  
  29. I rescued pccons.c by backing out 603 by hand (and luck).
  30.  
  31. BTW, I also had a couple of patch rejects (my fault) but patches didn't
  32. say anything about them.  Shouldn't there be some kind of error or warning
  33. if a .rej is created?
