	Well you have the filename, the function, the old code and the
	replacement code below.  I know Linux ships with editors.

	I would expect that you would choose an editor, open the file
	up.  Find the function and hence the appropriate lines to change.
	Edit them.  Write the file.  Next I would compile the distribution.
