Since I didn't use the "-l" flag to patch, it didn't apply, so I did it
by hand (and subsequently thought to check for whitespace issues).
But the patch appears to work; I'm up & running:
FreeBSD m147.whistle.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #59: Thu May 10 04:06:04 PDT
2001 root@:/common/C/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP_30W i386
(I had encountered the witness panic before applying the patch.)
Only annoyance I'm encountering with it so far is involving my use of ssh;
perhaps I'm doing something Really Weird, but in any case, that probably
deserves a different Subject:.
Cheers,
david
