I sent you a private e-mail explaining that the patch had been mangled
by the mail program, and I sent you the corrected lines. Did you
receive it?

The lines are mangled. The line starting with "-" should be
concatenated with the following one, but inserting one space between
both lines. The same goes for the line starting with "+" and the
following line.

But it is easier if you just copy them from my e-mail (or patch it by
hand, which is even easier).
