Once you make the decision to cvsup the very first time there's nothing you can really do except to track -STABLE until the next -RELEASE. (after which you completely do a -RELEASE installation and stop tracking -STABLE). Depending on when your last make world was, the code base may have been altered enough to cause the patch to fail. If you had stuck with the original -RELEASE of 4.2, the patches would all work and it's easier to deal with. But hindsight doesn't solve the problem. :) You should ask in the -stable list or the writer of the patch Peter C.
