Make sure that the patch is copied exactly. There's a line after the redefinition of getname to vms_getname that contains ^L. In the patch this line is removed and replaced with a blank line which is my own fault as it doesn't need to be removed. I copied and pasted the patch from Firefox into Vim and I don't have a problem with it, but I'm betting that the control character is at fault.
