Proposed directory for placement:  2.x/patches

A private fix sent to me by IBM for pmr4x565.  Fixes a bug introduced with the 
latest tcp/ip 1.2.1 base CSD (UN37938) that would cause loginunx.exe 
(when renamed to login.exe) to cause a hard error abort on login.

                                                                                                                                                          
Detail of the problem solved...

Copying loginunx.exe to login.exe in \tcpip\bin causes telnet sessions        
of the OS/2 machine to fail with a sys2070 after applying CSD UN37938.
                                                                              
'The system could not demand load the                                         
 applications segment.  LOGIN is in error.                                    
 For additional detailed information type: HELP SYS180'                       
                                                                              
The telnet session hangs with the following message to the remote             
user...                                                                       
                                                                              
 'login failure: Hard error abort.'
