Is that GNU patch? Type "patch -v" to find out. In any case,
have you tried upgrading to GNU patch v2.5? It's in
"pat25b.zip", in the "v2gnu" directory of the djgpp
distribution, e.g. FTP from ftp.simtel.net, directory
"/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu", file "pat25b.zip".

I've never seen any output remotely like that from GNU patch.
To me it looks like some DOS-like patch program which doesn't
understand forward slashes or perhaps long filenames.
