I need to apply a patch to a source file and I'm wondering how you do it.
The purpose of this is to fix a TCP bug with small packets.  Here is the
relevant info that I have been given:

Apply the following patch to /usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c

	RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c,v
	retrieving revision 1.40
	retrieving revision 1.41
	diff -p -u -r1.40 -r1.41
	--- src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c  1998/05/15  20:11:30      1.40
	+++ /home/ncvs/src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c   1998/07/06  19:27:14    1.41
	@@ -491,6 +491,7 @@ restart:

						len = min(min(mlen, resid), space);
					   }else{
+						   atomic=1;
  nopages;
						   len = min(min(mlen, resid), space);
						/*



That is all the info I have.  I don't follow what it means? It doesn't much
look like C code until the last 5 or 6 lines.  I tried entering them in as
commands and I just get a bad command back.  Have any ideas of how to
implement this?  THanks for taking the time to hear my dilema.
