1) Questions about alpha versions belong on r-devel...

2) the way to apply patches is 

cd R-0.50-a1
gunzip -c R-0.50-a1.patch1.gz | patch -p0

Not having the -p option is asking for trouble and *will* make trouble
with patch2 (guess how I know...), but shouldn't do it with patch1. I
don't know why it goes wrong for you, it might be related to your
having a different directory name. Hum, but my own directory  is still
R-0.50-a1 and the 2nd patch refers to R-0.50-a2 and I did get it
patched up to alpha-3, using -p0. Strange. As I read the man page, -p2
should have been necessary....
