Wierd patch problem + simple fix

Sun May 21 10:08:00 GMT 2000

Diagnosis confirmed. I'll check on patch-2.5.3.
/e/temp $ tar cf - -C /usr/local/src bzip2-1.0.0 | tar xf -
/e/temp $ cd bzip2-1.0.0
/e/temp/bzip2-1.0.0 $ export TMP=E:\\TEMP
/e/temp/bzip2-1.0.0 $ patch -p1 < ../bzip2-1.0.0-1.patch 
patching file `Makefile'
patching file `bzlib.h'
patching file `libbz2.def'
Also, E:/TEMP, /e/TEMP/, /cygdrive/e/TEMP/ all work okay.
