Not if you had errors during the patching. Changes might not have been applied, or even worse only partially applied. i.e. a lock might have been added but not yet removed -> deadlock, or the other way around -> race condition/possible memory corruption. If a patch doesn't go in smoothly, something is wrong and it's better to simply start over and try again. JanReceived on 2002-05-20 08:50:59
