BTW, I can't reproduce it. I'm patching a simple file over and over
again with the patch file having LF or CRLF line endings and /tmp
mounted textmode. Regardless whether the patchfile is in /tmp itself
or in a binmode mounted dir, the result is always ok, having LF line
endings.
It would help to provide a simple testcase with exact description of
the concerned directories and files, otherwise I assume a cockpit error.
You *are* using patch-2.5.8-2, aren't you?
