I tried to apply patch 8 to the elm system and found that patch
bombed out with an asserion error.  So I invoked patch like
this:
patch -p -N -x511 < patch8 
And here's what the end of the output looked like:
---------------------------------------------
 29     
 30             if (! retransmit && copy_msg != FORM)
 31               if (reply != NULL)
 32                 (void) fclose(reply);       /* on replies, it won't be open! */
Hunk #5 succeeded at 172.
fillsrc 66, filldst 8, rb 8, e+1 67
Assertion failed: file pch.c, line 719
% 
---------------------------------------------
Here's what the patch file (patch8) looks like around the hunk that
caused the problem:
---------------------------------------------
-
        if (! retransmit && copy_msg != FORM)
          if (reply != NULL)
            (void) fclose(reply);       /* on replies, it won't be open! */

        }
        else {
+
          copy_message_across(reply, real_reply, FALSE);
+
+           /* Append signature */
+
****** THERE ARE >30 LINES STARTING + HERE ******
+               strcpy(filename2, sig);
+             (void) append(real_reply,+             }
+           }
 
          fclose(real_reply);
