The patch was originally against 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 (I forget which).  It
was not to fix a "bug" as such, rather that DOS time drifts in respect
to Linux/real time so the patch simply reads Linux time when a program
asks for DOS time.  The web page describes the gory details:

We never found a "corruption", just a slow drift.  To me "corruption"
means badly/randomly wrong and that would suggest a different cause.
