I tried the fink installed patch and got the same problem. Here's a sample output from trying to do a "fink selfupdate" this morning.
libiconv-1.7/README.djgpp patch -p1 </sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/base/libiconv-1.7-5.patch patching file autoconf/ltmain.sh patching file configure patching file libcharset/autoconf/ltmain.sh patching file libcharset/configure It just hangs here and doesn't go any further. Going to another OS X application I get the rainbow circle of death and have to do a manual restart. A software restart just gives me a blue screen that never goes away (apparantly because something can't be killed). I wonder if my Perl could be causing the problem. This really sucks that I can't update several things/times. Here's my Perl.
