Patch 2.1 from DJGPP V2.0 doesn't work

Here are my sample files.

/* start of file diff */

/* start of file oldfile */
oldfile

/* end of file oldfile */

commandline:

  patch < diff

With patch from DJGPP V2.0 Beta4 this works. But if you do it with patch
from official release 2.0 it produces:

  Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
  Exiting due to signal SIGABRT
  Assertion failed at pch.c line 409: p_base <= file_pos


I think, this is only an error in compiling patch.
