I got the following error when applying the patch to src/buffer.c: patching file src/buffer.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 438. patch: **** malformed patch at line 303: buf = Fcdr (elt); The patch for buffer.c as enclosed looks straightforward (2 hunks) - in get-file-buffer you're protecting against gc, and in get_truename_buffer you just added a comment. If you confirm this, I will apply the patch. Otherwise, just send a corrected version. - vin >>>>> On Fri, 14 Jul 2000 19:12:15 -0700, Ben Wing <ben(a)666.com&gt; said: Ben> hello vin, Ben> sorry for the lateness of this but this is a patch for 21.1 including gc fixes i Ben> made a few days ago due to a crash report from yoshiki. i have been running Ben> 21.2 with these changes for days with no problems and i think they should be Ben> quite safe; all they do is be more conservative with gc checking.
