Always. You should never run patch without it.
Exactly which -pN option to use is a bit tricky as it depends on how the
patch was built. In this case you should use -p0, but my copy of
gnupatch 2.5 gets confused by this patch (can't automatically find
src/client_side.c no matter what option is used) unless the environment
variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. This seems to be a bug in this version
of patch as the man page seems to state otherwise and not accepting
patches like this is really annoying.
Hint to people making patches:
Make sure the patch is consistent in the header with local patch
including directory names in every part and not only in the Index: line.
If you are using cvs then never use cvs diff to prepare a patch, always
use cvs rdiff.
