Is "Patch" broken?

["Bruce Dobrin" <dobrin at imageworks dot com>]

...is my usage broken?

I haven't used Patch in a while,  but I've been trying to patch
DBD::Oracle1.15,  and the seemingly innocuous patch is being totally
rejected:

dobrin@THEODOLITE:/c/temp/DBI/patched-DBDO1.15> patch -p0 -F 3 < pch.1
patching file dbd-oracle/trunk/Oracle.xs
Hunk #1 FAILED at 157.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file
dbd-oracle/trunk/Oracle.xs.rej
dobrin@THEODOLITE:/c/temp/DBI/patched-DBDO1.15> diff
./dbd-oracle/trunk/Oracle.xs.orig ./dbd-oracle/trunk/Oracle.xs
<no change>

I've looked over the patch,  the offsets and patterns look fine.  I even
changed the files to all access and ran the patch thru d2u,  but it still
rejects all lines.
I'd REALLY like to avoid cutting and pasting all the changes....  Does
anyone have any suggestions ( I figure it's mightr be a control character
thing, but I'd think patch usually deals well with that)


Thanks
Bruce D.
