Do I have a broken tool somewhere that causes the following to
fail?

nexus@thune[6:52pm]/usr/src(331) tar xzf linux-1.3.70.tar.gz
nexus@thune[6:54pm]/usr/src(332) sh linux/scripts/patch-kernel
Current kernel version is 1.3.70
Applying patch-1.3.71.gz...
Patch failed. Clean up yourself.
nexus@thune[6:56pm]/usr/src(333)

bash$ set
BASH=/bin/bash
BASH_VERSION=1.14.5(1)

patch 2.1
gzip 1.2.4
libc-5.3.5
Running on kernel 1.3.70.

Patching appears to work, but I nearly had a heart attack the
first time I tried to use that script.
