any emerge's that I've done that have failed, I've always had the
/var/tmp/portage/<foo> directory still there so I could take a peek and
see what happened.

It's there, but I've got no .rej files in it or the work
subdir. I did this:

EPATCH_OPTS="-p1 -r /home/jesse/rblsmtpd.c.rej" \

Before my epatch line, and I get this in the .out file:

1 out of 9 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file /home/jesse/rblsmtpd.c.rej

But /home/jesse/rblsmtpd.c.rej doesn't exist in my homedir.

What gives??

is /home/jesse writable by portage? (also are you using a sandbox?)

Uh, no. But /tmp *is*, and I just changed it to that with the same results:

1 out of 9 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file /tmp/rblsmtpd.c.rej

# ls -al /tmp/rblsmtpd.c.rej
ls: /tmp/rblsmtpd.c.rej: No such file or directory
Exit 1

I think I must be, but how do I tell? And how do I work around it.
BTW, I'm modifying the sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r8 ebuild, not
creating an entirely new one...

This must be a bug or undocumented feature of epatch or something.
If I just use normal patch then I get the .rej file. Ugh!

epatch tests the patches first (basically, calling patch with
--dry-run) before it attempts to patch anything. dry-run = no rejects,
because none of the patches were actually applied. At a guess, you
overriding EPATCH_OPTS simply appeneded your options to the patch
command, and the --dry-run option was still used...
