+opencomal needed a lot of patching to get it building & running on modern
+Slackware. All these patches are by the SlackBuild author.
+
+01-missing_includes.diff
+ #include <string.h>
+
+02-vsprintf.diff
+ bizarre non-standards-compliant handling of vsprintf() causes immediate
+ segfault on startup, when it tries to print the banner.
+
+03-fix_auto_segfault.diff
+ missing NULL check, causes segfault in 'auto' mode when a syntax error
+ is entered, followed by ^C.
+
+04-mkdir.diff
+ fix the mkdir command so it actually reports errors.
+
+05-sys_errlist.diff
+ fix deprecation warning.
+
+06-noreturn.diff
+ squelch a bunch of spurious 'might be used uninitialized' warnings.
+ there are still a couple left, caveat emptor...
