Test case attached.

The files are part of mailman, I just included a shortened patch file and the
file to be patched.  The test procedure (with the output I get):

$ mkdir patch-testcase
$ cd patch-testcase/
# [copy both files here]
$ ls
copyof-mailman-2.1.6.tar.bz2  indexing-2.1.6-0.1.patch
$ tar xvf copyof-mailman-2.1.6.tar.bz2
mailman-2.1.6/
mailman-2.1.6/templates/
mailman-2.1.6/templates/da/
mailman-2.1.6/templates/da/archidxfoot.html

$ patch --version
patch 2.5.8
...
$ cd mailman-2.1.6/
$ patch -p1 < ../indexing-2.1.6-0.1.patch
patching file templates/da/archidxfoot.html

$ cd ..
$ rm -rf mailman-2.1.6/
$ tar xvf copyof-mailman-2.1.6.tar.bz2
...

$ cd mailman-2.1.6/
$ /usr/local/bin/patch --version
patch 2.5.4

$ /usr/local/bin/patch -p1 < ../indexing-2.1.6-0.1.patch
