The location of the patch doesn't really matter - as long as your current
directory is the "root" of the hobbit 4.0.2 source files.  RHL uses GNU
patch AFAIK so the patch vs gpatch thing shouldn't be an issue.  Can you
check you have the redirect the right way around?  "<" not ">" ??

Yes - manually editing hobbitd.c circa line 923 to match the + string in
the patch will certainly have the same affect :-)  Although it might be
nice to figure out why patch isn't working in case the next change is a bit
more complicated.
