>Description:
During my building, i got a patch error, following:

===>   Applying FreeBSD patch /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files/patch-
Xserver-hw-xfree86-os-support-bsd-Makefile.in
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Index: programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/Makefile.in 
|diff -u -p programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/Makefile.in orig prog
rams/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/Makefile.in 
|--- hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/Makefile.in .orig        Tue Oct  4 01:46:14 2005
|+++ hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/Makefile.in      Thu Jan 26 14:57:56 2006
--------------------------
File to patch: ^C
root@raspberry-pi:/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server # => Patch patch-Xserv
er-hw-xfree86-os-support-bsd-Makefile.in failed to apply cleanly.
-----error-end


i find this error caused by a space after filename 'Makefile.in '.
and this error made by only bsdpatch, not gnupatch.
because of bsdpatch see filename's space is not a delimiter, but gnupatch
 see it a delimiter.
i think this difference maybe a specification for bsdpatch, not a bug,
 because bsdpatch can deal filename, inside-space.

but it is not good for developers to exist such incompatibility between
 bsdpatch and gnupatch.

>How-To-Repeat:
suffix a space at filename in any patchfile, example:

--- hw/xfree86/xorgconf.cpp.orig        Fri Dec 31 14:40:27 2004
+++ hw/xfree86/xorgconf.cpp     Fri Dec 31 14:40:28 2004

add a space 'hw/xfree86/xorgconf.cpp'-> 'hw/xfree86/xorgconf.cpp '

# patch < patchfile
it will fail to patch. but,
# gnupatch < patchfile
it will success to patch.
