* From: jmacd@uclink.berkeley.edu
* I just realized I wasn't applying patch-a to the version I
* rebuilt that works, everything makes sense now... the patch
* fixed one problem in process.c and broke something else,
* problem is, the patch rms just sent fails a hunk... I'll test
* it now.
* From: Manfred Antar <mantar@netcom.com>
* i just deleted the patches directory and re-made emacs M-x man now works
Confirmed here on my machine too. The timestamp of the emacs
executable was newer than the patch itself, but somehow it didn't get
compiled in, I guess.
I compiled it with the old patch only, and it failed. I applied the
second patch from Richard as well (note it is relative to the old
patch, you can't just replace it), it worked again.

P.S. Here is the new patch-a, relative to the 19.29 distribution; I'll
commit it shortly.
