I had a similar problem, and found on investigation that it had occurred this
way:  On March 8, Frans Meulenbroecks posted the patches to include_00
in a posting entitled "1.5.5 part 7 of 6 +message", which I saved as part 7.
The following monday, Bruce Evans posted the kernel patches with the title
"1.5.5 7 of 6", which I promptly saved as part 7.  When I uudecoded everything,
the correct kernel patches were missing.  Only later did I realize that I did
have them, but they were appended to the file that contained include_00,
so the kernel patches did not get decoded.  See if the same thing happened to
you.  If not, see if the article is still on your system.  If not, use the
titles above when you go shopping.  Was anyone else stung by this?
