Nope, in this case the files were sources/rb-sourcelist.{h,c}

There are other patches by the same person (both before, and after) that
modify the above two files and don't show this problem. My other guess
was that the patch had gotten corrupted somewhere, but 1.2.1 and 1.3
both do the right thing, which makes this less likely.

It's not a complex patch either, the changes to the two files that don't
work are a couple of lines added/changed.
