OK, thanks! Turns out I couldn't see the -cvs- part of the name
because my browser has chosen blue links on a black background.

The -cvs- bit reverses the alphabetic and numerical ordering, so
that linux-2.4.6-xfs-cvs-06212001.patch.gz is listed after
linux-2.4.6-xfs-07052001.patch.bz2, and the only bit in readable
white text is the "bzip2" file type at left in the listing, so I
wrongly got the impression that the patch was a bzip version
of the patch directly above it, which was a 2.4.5 patch.

If that makes sense ... (listing suppresed).
