Nevertheless, it's somewhat startling to see permissions change as a side effect of patching a file. One simple way to prevent this is to unset TMP and TEMP in /etc/profile. Is there any downside to doing this? A search of the mailing list archives shows that the default /etc/profile used to do this. I didn't dig long enough to find out why it changed.

For the moment, I have added 'export TMP=/tmp' to .bashrc, which works. Alternatively, on should use 'TMP=/tmp patch...'



Ciao, Angelo.
