I'm *positive* I installed the patch for some reason, but it would've been
several weeks ago, so there's a chance I didn't.  I guess I'll have to try
it again (there's a possibility that I looked at the patch but didn't
actually install it because the system was booted under DOS ... I still am
pretty sure I did, but I'll try again).  Thanks for bringing it up.
