how to install patch

Mon Sep 10 19:28:00 GMT 2001

What I meant was I followed the instructions of the FAQ to install snapshot
of 9/1/2001, the snapshot is supposed to have the pthread_equal() fix, the
test program indicates the fix is not installed. So there must be something
wrong with the installation instructions.
