- no i don't think thats the problem, i think patch only ever tries the
- `before' filename when it can't find the `after' one... are you on a
- minixfs? then try UNIXMODE=/cu or if that doesn't help set mfsconf -s.
- or use a patch thats linked with mintlibs.
-
- i.e. i think you've only been bitten by the old `better translate
- every filename to uppercase' feature... :-)
