I'm attaching the only change that I can think makes a difference.
Try a 'patch -R -p1 < xopen_source.patch' and see if that changes
anything.

I don't think we're going to back off from that change, so if you can
help us figure out what goes wrong with it on your system and how to
improve the change, that's be great.

Cheers,
Richard
