This patch didn't apply.  I tracked it down to bad context
in the Makefile where this appeared:

>  CPPFLAGS += -std=c99 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE
>  CFLAGS += -Werror

but the file had this instead:

>  BISON = bison
>  LEX = flex

Again, I hand whacked-the patch mail and applied it.

For the love-of-Pete, please use git.
