Yes.

It matches my md5sum.

I just tried it myself, with the patch that you sent me back,
and it worked fine:

  $ patch <yourpatch
  patching file sdiff.c
  $ 

Perhaps you have a bad version of "patch"?  I'm using patch 2.5.8
myself.

Or you can apply the patch by hand, using an editor.  It's small.
