I did.  By the time you see this you should have it.  I sent it out uuencoded
this time.

Everyone seems to be working around this by commenting out the typedef.
You should be aware that the "real" patch not only inserts the typedef COMPEX
into perl.h but changes the typedef in search.h into a plain old struct
definition.  If you've commented out the first typedef, reapplying patch18
won't work too hot.  Be sure to apply it with patch -p -N, and handle any
reject files that are produced.  Or if you've tried to apply subsequent patches
it might be easier to start again with the original sources.  If you have
ftp access you can get kits patched to level 21 at (128.149.8.43).
