Not if you had errors during the patching. Changes might not have been
applied, or even worse only partially applied. i.e. a lock might have
been added but not yet removed -> deadlock, or the other way around ->
race condition/possible memory corruption.

If a patch doesn't go in smoothly, something is wrong and it's better to
simply start over and try again.
