For starters, the patch you downloaded is a development snapshot, so if
it's stable, you're just lucky - it has not undergone extensive testing.
If you want patches that have been internally tested at SGI, get one
of the Release 1.2pre5 patches from SGI - it is expected that this is the
code which will be released as 1.2-final.
