cvs diff -u > patchfile

is the preferred way to send patches. Also, patches should be attachments to emails, and not in the email body itself.

Before I do so however I have a couple of questions. I'm not really up
on the subject of making patches so in view of this I've submitted a
very minor patch (following this mail). My first question is, is this
the right form for submitting patches?

Some people use cvs diff, but I don't know the proper usage for that.
I like to do:

diff -Naur abi abi.mod > mod.patch

which does a recursive diff on the whole tree.

Also, is it OK to just claim any non-assigned bugs?

I suppose. Or just add a comment that you're looking into it...

Have fun, Frank
