The attachment.bin from that link is 115 lines, but does not have a newline
at the end of the 115th line. There have been a lot of versions of "patch"
commands, and not all of them may be equally tolerant.
You could try getting a fresh copy of attachment.bin, and then modifying it
by adding the newline
echo >>attachment.bin
and then using that.
I don't recall having any problems, but I'm working on a Mac, which may
have a different version of "patch" than what you're using.

I suspect you have a truncated patch file.
The attached text is 115 lines long.
I must be doing something wrong then. I downloaded the patch directly
from the user list archives, and get the same error. Line 115 has
nothing but a + and a blank line. I tried the patch attachment via mutt,
and downloading it via here:
