Please fix the R2Fix tool to generate patches correctly:
The +++ file name is incorrect.

The patch is whitespace-damaged.  gmail isn't good at preserving
tabs -- they have been converted to spaces, so the patch does not
apply cleanly.

If this patch is applied, how does this function return FAILURE?
I don't think that is does -- I think the patch is bad.
