[invalid] Can't apply patches under VMware

[jvoight]

When I attempt to apply a patch under VMware, I get an error:

 _dispatch
    ret = _runcommand(ui, options, cmd, d)
  File "/usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 401, in

    text = mdiff.patches(text, bins)
mpatch.mpatchError: invalid patch

This occurred most recently when I applied Yi's latest DSage patch, but it occurs even when I make a patch recording a trivial modification to a file.

(Shouldn't there be a "mercurial" component in the drop-down below?)

I believe this is a permission issue, so not really a bug on our end.

The error message suggests corruption of the patch file itself.

Whatever was causing the problem so very long ago is no longer--I checked and can now apply patches. JV
