After I did emerge unmerge pan, I now have:

xuan work # patch -p0 < /home/roderick/load-pixbuf-in-1024-byte-chunks.diff
patching file pan-0.132/pan/gui/body-pane.cc
patch: **** malformed patch at line 13:                      +      {

Line 13 is:

11                      +      size_t left = buffer->len;
12                      +      while (left > 0)
13                      +      {
14                      +        size_t len = left < 1024 ? left : 1024; /*
KLUDGE magic number */
15                      +        gdk_pixbuf_loader_write (l,
((guchar*)buffer->data) + c, len, &err);

I do not think that it matter to unmerge since the -C option will unmerge
anyway, correct? Then I poked around in:

/var/tmp/portage/net-nntp/pan-0.132/work/pan-0.132/pan/gui/body-pane.cc

...And found this:

    if (wrapper)
    {
      GMimeStream * mem_stream (g_mime_stream_mem_new ());
      g_mime_data_wrapper_write_to_stream (wrapper, mem_stream);
      GByteArray * buffer (GMIME_STREAM_MEM(mem_stream)->buffer);
      if (buffer->len)
          gdk_pixbuf_loader_write (l, (guchar*)buffer->data, buffer->len, &err);
      g_object_unref (mem_stream);
      g_object_unref (wrapper);
    }

What am I missing? This is a new and very interesting learning experience for
me. Thnx again for your patience.
