Comment(by was):

 I used
 {{{
 sage -merge 6128 -t long -n 12
 }}}

 to try testing this on sage.math (debian 64-bit), and almost immediately
 got errors:

 }}}

 I also tried applying the patch manually.

 I then keep seeing
 {{{
   File "/scratch/wstein/build/sage-4.0.2/local/bin/sage-cleaner", line 75,
 in kill_spawned_jobs
     os.killpg(int(pid), 9)
 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
 }}}

 which was the error that started this whole ticket... and which is an
 error I have never seen before today.

 I then patched sage-cleaner so that it just deletes files that contain
 this empty pid and Sage works for me again.

 I did try applying this patch again, but got lots of errors about
 {{{
         o.fflush()
     AttributeError: 'file' object has no attribute 'fflush'
 }}}

 Anyway, in short, this patch doesn't work at all for me.  Maybe fflush
 works on some platforms but evidently not 64-bit debian linux.
