That looks very fine.

In that case you really hsould have gotten reject files, patch usually
doesn't apply broken diffs. I've no idea what happenned, probably some
discrepancy between my source and the diff, but I found nothing broken in it
:(

BTW, some versions of patch are broken (IMHO all versions between and
including patch-2.2 and patch-2.5 ;), maybe, as a last resort, try using
another patch program (2.5.3 is recommended for linux, but its only an alpha
version).
