As sure as I know how to be. I applied the patch to a system at
home and to one at work. Both fail the same way. I ran "patch
--dry-run -p1 < ~/.vim/backupdir.patch" again on the second system
to check and it reported that the patches were already there.
Running the test gives me just this and an empty test_backup.res
file.
$ make test_backup.res
VIMRUNTIME=../../runtime; export VIMRUNTIME; ../vim -f -u unix.vim -U
NONE --noplugin --not-a-term -S runtest.vim test_backup.vim
