  I think you are, since your patch has CRLF line ends.  If you're using
Tortoise, it's probably auto-mangling the line-ends for you.  It likes to be
"helpful" like that, but what you actually tend to end up with is a working
tree that isn't interoperable with cygwin.

  Does running d2u over the rejected hunk fix your problem?  Does generating
the patch by the commandline svn client under cygwin generate a patch in the
correct format for the patch utility under cygwin?

    cheers,
