If all you're trying to do is determine whether SetPatch hads already
been run, it would be quicker, easier and less kludgy to check whether
one of its patches have been made.

Replace the cold boot section with

version >NIL: exec.library 45
if WARN ; setpatch hasn't been run
...
endif

and the warm boot section is replaced by just the call to SetPatch.

Cheers
