System: patch version 1.2
Bug #: 1
Priority: LOW
Subject: inaccurate failed count for multiple patches
From: yale!kaufman
Index: patch.c
Prereq: 1.2

Description:
	If there are multiple patches in one file, and patch fails on a
	a hunk in one patch, it will generate bogus failed counts for all
	following patches in the same file.

Fix:    Reset failed, as per below.

	From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your patch source
	directory.  Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle".
