Patch is extremely sensitive to changes in the content of a patch file,
including whitespace, blank lines, etc. Even downloading a patch with
a browser improperly is enough to mangle the patch file.
It looks like you used the correct patch command syntax. I suspect
your patch file was corrupt.
Patch could also be confused if you have a patch file for, say, Version
1.1 of a source file, but you're applying it against Version 1.3.
Sometimes Patch gets it right, sometimes it just can't.
If you can't get it to work, tell me where you found your patch file,
and send my your two input files (sendbackup-gnutar.c, sendsize.c) and
I'll try it.
