_doserrno == 0xB7 (network segment error...)
So treating 0xB7 && fileexist the same as 0x2 && fileexist gives the
following
patch to _rename.c, and then it works:

Another thing I noticed was that the following text (or better: all texts
without \n):
"Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]"
don't show up _before_ you press a valid key, but only _after_ you
press y/n/space. It seems like fflush isn't working either (but it does work
if I'm in GDB. "W2K is a pain in the lower posterior" (tm)
