Well, when you applied the patch (source files right?) you made a backup copy of them?? Copy the backups back to the originals, make clean to clear the onject tree and make install?? And, not to belabor the point, but you should have *nightly* backups to get you back too. But that's worst case anyway. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
