I was in the backend directory and had gotten past the problem you
quoted.  What I was asking about was: 

File to patch: avision.c
patching file avision.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 9:                  All the many
other beta-tester and debug-log sender ;-)

I don't know why the patch was malformed.  The text it was complaining
about was:

Index: avision.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/external/sane/sane-backends/backend/avision.c,v

I am leaving for a trip tomorrow.  Back at the end of the week.

Thanks,
