It's a patch from Sun, presumably to fix things discovered after the
CD was cut.

I had 5.2 going briefly during 4.4-S days (installed from the CD I got
with AUUGN, just like yours) but SO didn't like more recent changes to
something on my system, and after a reinstall claimed not to find a
configuration file which is definitely there.  Fetching the thing via
ftp yielded the same problem.  My guess is some confusion in between
linux.ko and the emulation glibc.  (My first attempt used linux_base-7
and failed: I had to downgrade to 6, and even then had it working only
for a few weeks.)

I'm beginning to hate binary-only software which requires Linux
emulation.
