I committed a fix to this problem the day after:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Oct  4 18:43:42 CEST 2005 - address@hidden
                                                                                
                                        
- scripts/patchfns.in: Prevent patch_header and patch_body from
  mistakenly considering "---" alone on its header line as the
  beginning of the patch body.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So quilt CVS behaves well with the "---" separator as used by the
kernel contributors, for over three months now. This is my reason #1
for releasing a new version of quilt soon.

Or is there anything else being discussed here?

Thanks,
