 Looking at this, it seems that patch20, or at least that part of it,
 is just wrong.
 
 Is there an upstream for this package? The pkgsrc package doesn't
 appear to have been touched in any substantive way since it was first
 added in 1999.
 
 If there is no upstream, is the package worth maintaining? It is not
 very large and it should be fairly straightforward to wade into it and
 figure out what that change was supposed to do, and fix it properly;
 but it's only worth doing if anyone's going to actually use the
 results.
