You have to issue the patch command TWICE.  I.e.,

	patch
	patch

Presumably, this is to make sure you REALLY want to apply the patch,
and aren't some bozo who just issues the command at random.

The patches are made to the memory image.  There is no facility to
saved the patched executable.  So you have to leave the patch commands
in your mskermit.ini until you get the next version of kermit
(which presumably will have the patches already applied).
