Patch 5086

When upgrading overlays from versions of IRIX prior to 6.5.22 to 6.5.22 or later patch 5086 must be applied first.
The patch fixes a bug in inst(1m) which causes problems in versions later than 6.5.21
Patch 5086 is only necessary if you're doing a 'live' upgrade (e.g. upgrading a version of IRIX 6.5 older than 6.5.21 to one newer than 6.5.21 while IRIX is booted/running). If you upgrade to IRIX 6.5.22 from the PROM (using the miniroot), the patch isn't required.
