Hi,
Thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn for confirming my suspicions. There is a bug
in dupatch version 44-01. Note that dupatch does work properly for me when
run interactively. The bug will be fixed in the next kit, 4 by my count,
which will be available next year. We do have a support contract, but since
this isn't critical for us and since it will take time to get the fix
anyway, I am not going to worry about it. Apparently, it might also be
possible for me to fix dupatch myself, since it is a script, but again it
really isn't worth my time. It is easiest for me to just specify the
patches.
