Here are what's going on:
linux:/usr/src/linux # gzip -dc
/tmp/kctt/patch/kct0_02-2.2.13-patch.diff.gz | patch -p1 --dry-run
patching file Documentation/Configure.help
Hunk #1 succeeded at 12180 (offset 390 lines).
patching file drivers/char/Config.in
Hunk #1 succeeded at 202 (offset 3 lines).
patching file drivers/char/Makefile
patching file drivers/char/kctt.c
patching file drivers/char/mem.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 41 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 671 (offset -13 lines).
patching file include/linux/kctt.h
linux:/usr/src/linux #
The --dry-run was and idea I got from lawson.
