I created a patch to fix a numerical noise issue.

After doing this, I realised I'd put too many dots on the end, so
instead of the two needed, I'd put three.
0.85914091422952...
Only the '55' differs, so I need one less dot.
FYI, you still need three dots. The dot's don't stand for digits,
they stand for .* (in the regex sense).
Thank you.
How is the best way to recover from this?
As pointed out, you can manually edit the patch for something this
simple. Long term, learn queues. (That seems to be a theme lately...)
Does this look right?

Yes. Looks like another thing coming from Solaris having a non-optimal
literal value for e (exp(1), decimal floating point literals, etc.).
I'd much rather fix the underlying issue, but I wouldn't know where to
start.
