Good programmer! You actually listed the OS, version, and compiler!
Bless you!

Ahh. GNU patch has changed its style somewhat, and you should examine
changing to the source directory and typing:

	patch -p1 < ../whatever-its-name.patch

The -p1 tells it how much of the directory name to strip off.

Half a patch is *NOT* better than none. You might consider hopping
directly to the new 4.1beta1 release at www.hylafax.org: while
a beta release, it's got these and a number of other patches
already built in....
