Thanks a lot, Markus!

Hey, I'm not about to scream and shout over something minor that gets
fixed immediately.  Not when the service is good and the service is 
free. :)

But there's another problem which may or may not be related.  Got
a SuSE 9.0 single-CPU laptop in just now that hadn't been patched for 
a while.  'fou4s -iu --checkfou4s' did all the obvious thing, including
taking fou4s up to the recent one.  

Then for the kernel with 'fou4s -iu --interactive' it asks the right 
questions, it just doesn't do the patching.  Stops immediately after
I type "yes" to confirm the installation, without error messages.
