Looking at their 1.0.1p6, I see that they reformatted the entire
start_exec.c file so severely that the mpiexec patch no longer applies.
And no, apparently the patches are not present in that reformatted code.

The fix in tm.c isn't needed since they check for bad file descriptors
in the called routine instead.

I'll make a note on the web page pointing out that torque users will
have to apply the patches by hand if they want standard IO redirection
to work.

(They did, however, apply the mom-restart patch, although it too
was processed through the code uglifier.)
