I think I understand the problem but I don't know the answer ... yet.
In 2004 the devs switched from CVS to tarballs for supporting release versions - see
http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5135&highlight=5.0.0.16
But the patch is working against the CVS version - so the answer has to be what CVS token version does one use. Based on browsing the CVS I will guess from this link it is v5_0_0_16 but it is a guess. What I would really like is someones script --> the line

For the past couple of years I have been manually applying the patch information to get an understanding of what was being changed and using the "released" 4.x version on a RH7.2 box. I also setup FC2 with the 5.0.0.15 tarball and replacing the files from the patch tar/zip did not give a useable result on either box.
Will keep plugging away but I haven't found the bridge to cross over to the op-code search side yet. Will keep searching for info as well so this may get edited...
