On my system I have the following patches related to 'providing' 124204:

bash-3.00# patchadd -p | grep 124204

Running chkmin on this system tells me I need to install patch 124204-04 when 
that obviously isn't the case:

bash-3.00# ./chkmin 124204-04
124204-04

I've made the following addition to not overwrite a higher patch rev with a 
lower one in the code, which I think should address the problem but not sure if 
it's too simple and I've missed something:

bash-3.00# diff -u chkmin.orig chkmin
--- chkmin.orig Fri May 13 18:42:26 2011
+++ chkmin      Fri May 13 18:53:46 2011

}

Has anyone else come across this issue?
