And since there is no patch-native and we use the patch on the host instead, the issue would happen on most host without the above new patch version, so I think it would be a solution for this to uprev patch to the latest version and adding the patch-native. 25330 1 constantinx.musca 2012-09-18 06:43:23 +0000 We must use one TMPDIR per process so that the patching processes don't generate the same temp file name (the "patch" program uses the TMPDIR environment variable for deciding where to create the temp files).
