[Info-vax] PATCH/ABSOLUTE does not PATCH/ABSOLUTE

[VAXman- at SendSpamHere.ORG]

On Itanium:

Simple reproducer...

$ MACRO/OBJECT=X.OBJ SYS$INPUT
.ENTRY GO,0
.END
^Z
$ PATCH/ABSOLUTE X.OBJ
  OpenVMS PATCH Version T8.2-001  

%PATCH-I-NOGBL, some or all global symbols not accessible
%PATCH-I-NOLCL, image does not contain local symbols
PATCH>update
%PATCH-I-WRTFIL, updating image file DISK:[DIRECTORY]X.OBJ;2
PATCH> exit
$ DIFF X.OBJ

Fails miserably.

PATCH does not maintain this file's undefined format.
