>Description:
        patch(1) -p option dosen't allow  to omit numeric argument.

>How-To-Repeat:
        On NetBSD 4, patch(1)'s allows -p option without numeric argument.

        % uname -r
        4.0_STABLE
        % patch -v
        Patch version 2.0, patch level 12u8
        % patch -p < /etc/motd 
        Hmm...  I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.

        But NetBSD 5, it dosen't.

        % uname -r
        5.0_STABLE
        % patch -v
        Patch version 2.0-12u8-NetBSD
        % patch -p < /etc/motd 
        patch: option requires an argument -- p
