What is the length of the resulting file from "printf '\0' > target"? If you get an empty file, your printf utility is misbehaving, and the problem is not with patch itself. Does "printf '\1' > target" work better? What platform is this on? > These tests seem to have been added/changed between 2.7 and 2.7.1 Yes. Thanks, Andreas
