I agree, but just FYI the patch command has a -l flag which causes it to ignore whitespace differences. It really helps in cases like this, though it's still somewhat bogus since you lose the tab in the source code.. Still, it can save you a lot of trouble when the patch is *large* and you can always run the results through indent to recreate the lost tab info (and probably clean up the file considerably in the process :-).
