Probably not.  The only applications which would need the patch, running on
VMS versions earlier than 5.5-2, are those which attempt to compute delta-times
using LIB$ routines with a base date in 1970 (or earlier).  Please see
http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/10k/index.html for additional
information.
