I upgraded using the 1.2 and 1.3 upgrade kits on bugs, but I did all my
un-sharing and patching on a Sun.  (My Minix machine at the time was the
two-floppy IPC card in my Sun.)  I don't remember having any particular
trouble with the patches.

Could this be a stack-size problem?  Perhaps the original poster could
do a

	chmem =64000 patch

and report back on what happens?
