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,

P.S.  I tried editing the first few lines of the patch to make them conform 
to the contents of the same lines in avision.c.  The malformed patch message 
then refers to the first line I did not edit.  I think that the problem is 
that my mail reader (Evolution) changed the font and spacing.  It may be 
necessary to send the patch as an attachment.

I am leaving for my trip in a couple of hours.
