- The source being patched does not match what the patch (diff) file
- expects, so it fails rather than put garbage in the file.

- The diff file was only for a specific version of sbprolog, which is
- now several years old. There was talk about including the SGI patches
- into the standard distribution, but I don't know what happened. I am
- the original author of the patches, but I currently have no time to
- work on them. They should be a good starting point for someone else,
- though.
