You've attached several files to the bug report but none of them is a
patch file. Patch files enable us to see at a glance what has changed
and what hasn't, and can be applied using the patch command to an
existing directory tree.

If you add the following to your .cvsrc :

cvs -q -z9
diff -uN
update -Pd

so that you get unified diffs, you can do the following in your local
tree:

cvs diff >patch

The file "patch" then contains the patch, which can be applied to a tree
with:

patch -p0 <patch
