Re: coreutils failure on Mac OS X 10.5

[metinex]

Can someone give more clear instruction to apply the patch?

I copy the following patch text into patch.txt file and then I run
patch -p0 < patch.txt 

What I get is the following error message:
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

If someone can upload the patch and the command to apply, that'd be
appreciated.

Mine patch.txt is here:  http://www.nabble.com/file/p19110500/patch.txt
patch.txt 

Thanks,

Jay
