Hi Jason,

Something is wrong with your mail setup, the patch looks normal above,
but when I view the source or save it to try to apply it, the diff is
corrupt, as below.  It looks like maybe you're pasting the patch into
your mailer and it's wrapping lines (ending with '=') and actual '='
are replaced with '=3D' and tabs are converted to spaces.  Please fix
your mailer and resend.  Thanks,

Alex
