What did I do wrong? The patch failed, leaving you with uncompilable source :) If you're downloading the latest versions of the advisory and patch, and the correct version of the patch for your version of FreeBSD, the most likely explanation is that you have a different source tree than it's expecting..perhaps you've got older source, or source for an intermediate version of -stable (e.g. FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE, instead of FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE) Sometimes the initial versions of the advisory or patch are incorrect and contain incorrect instructions, etc, but we always re-release them with the corrections, and I think the two you refer to are believed to be okay.
