[gnu.gcc.bug] Bug in patchfile 1.35 -> 1.36

baur@venice.SEDD.TRW.COM (Steven L. Baur) (11/27/89)

"Malformed patch at line 47644: diff -rc2N gcc-1.35/gcc.texinfo gcc-1.36/gcc.texinfo"

I got this same message on both a SUN3 running SUN OS 4 and an AT&T 3B1 (same
version of patch).

The patchfile was obtained from athena-dist.mit.edu.

I had this same experience except on Unix SYS V/386 3.2.  The patch file is
ok.  If you break it up into 2 parts and run each part it works fine.
