Pursuant to my last message, the patch did not apply cleanly.
I'll nuke the dir, and do it again.  And that did not help.
I'm still getting errors where one or more hunks fail, on several files.

John Stang, if you are copying the mail, there they are:

3 out of 10 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file restore-src/amrestore.c.rej
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file server-src/amoverview.pl.in.rej
1 out of 22 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file server-src/driver.c.rej
3 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file server-src/planner.c.rej
1 out of 21 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file server-src/reporter.c.rej

This is patch "span_split_2.4.5-current.patch", and is being applied to
amanda-2.4.5b1-20050214 as freshly unpacked from the tar.gz.
