>Description:
	
/src/sys/arch/x68k/fdboot/fdboot and /src/sys/arch/x68k/usr.bin/tvctrl/tvctrl
are binary files which break updating the source tree via patch from diff files.

Try to update your source tree via diff files (like in offered at
ftp://wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/patch/96/05/*)
and not via sup and watch `patch < difffile` breaking if it contains binaries.

>Fix:
	
uuencode binaries in the official source tree or remove them.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
/src/sys/arch/x68k/fdboot/fdboot and /src/sys/arch/x68k/usr.bin/tvctrl/tvctrl are binaries
