Kurt,

I had to leave rather hastily the other day, but I did test the patch,
and it worked ok. If this is a one-off thing, here is how I did it:

# cd /usr/ports/category/program
# make clean
# ee source.patch (pasted the patch in)
# make configure (which preps the source)
# cd work/progname
# patch < ../../source.patch
# cd ../..
# make
# make install

All worked well.

Steve
