	We have been using PATCH here at BNL for quite a while with great success.
Today, I attempted to apply patch #10 and failed.  Our system is Ultrix2.0 running
on a VAX 11/780. After unsharing the patch and running Config, 'make' barfed. 

#<8> make
cc -c -O  patch.c
"./common.h", line 154: redeclaration of sprintf
"patch.c", line 291: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op =
*** Error code 1

Stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Lines 151-155 of common.h look like:
#ifdef CHARSPRINTF
char *sprintf();
#else
int *sprintf();
#endif

	Config said "Your sprintf() returns (char*)", so why did common.h try to
redefine sprintf at line 154?   Hmmmm...config.h.SH has the following:

/* CHARSPRINTF:
 *	This symbol is defined if this system declares "char *sprintf()" in
 *	stdio.h.  The trend seems to be to declare it as "int sprintf()".  It
 *	is up to the package author to declare sprintf correctly based on the
 *	symbol.
 */
#$d_charsprf	CHARSPRINTF 	/**/



	The offending line in patch.c is:
		    char *s = rindex(rejname,'/');

Does anyone have any ideas as to why Make is barfing?  Any help will be much appreciated.
