Well, we've been using it for almost 6 months since we went
self-hosting. :-) I sent an outline of the algorithm over the
weekend.
If something's wrong, it sounds like 'patch' is misbehaving. I mean,
we create a diff between old-text-base and new-text-base, then have
'patch' apply that diff to the working file, with a .rej file on the
commandline. I don't know why 'patch' would only put partial rejects
into the .rej file...
