I may have hand-edited some hunks in that patch.  The older patch
programs were pretty picky on hand-crafted hunks especially when the
number of context line(s) before and after the changed line(s) were
different.

Petr just checked in a fix for that patch so that it would apply even
with the older patch versions.  So, you may want to try the latest from
the ooo-build-3-2-1 branch in case you can't (or don't want to) upgrade
your patch program.

HTH,
