Type and version:	Ultra-1 8.2.16
Display type:		ffb

What were you trying to do?
	patch a source file


What went wrong?
	patch was a little too helpful WRT RCS:
speaker-for-the-dead:/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/foo-server/charon/src/webster/src/server: patch < ~/Mail/inbox/965
patch: **** file `rpcd.c' seems to be locked by somebody else under RCS


yet:
speaker-for-the-dead:/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/foo-server/charon/src/webster/src/server: rlog rpcd.c

RCS file: RCS/rpcd.c,v
Working file: rpcd.c
head: 1.10
branch:
locks: strict
        jweiss: 1.10



What should have happened?
	Since I was teh one with the file locked, it should have
	patched my checked out copy of the file.



Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	Yeah, it looks like the problem was due to teh fact that
	rpcd.c was oened by someone else.
