   I got the mangled version of patch 18 to perl so I edited out the stuff after
the patch to search.h applied this and the following patches which appeared
to make everything happy and eventually got the uuencoded version of patch18
and just applied the search.h patch. That was the only mangled part of patch18
that was managled.  Now everything compiles, only perl dumps core in the middle
of TEST. It complains about a Corrupt malloc pointer. Can anyone respond
if they get perl dumping core on the same test?
   
   It appears that the patches to TEST cause this since the perl prior to
patch16+ passed the tests and now it core dumps as well as the new one. At the
moment I havn't the time to find this bug so I will just stick with the old
version of perl, which although it doesn't pass TEST now it once did.

  Anyway here is the diff between the mangled and unmanagled versions of
of patch18 with 'x' at the start of every line strip these out.
