User error (of course).  Missing "series" file.

Now that I have a series file, I get this error:
Unable to extract a subject header from 001-arc-delay-use-intll64h.patch

where the first line in that file is:
Subject: arc: fix some build issues in delay.h

Is there a trick to conjuring quilt into accepting a Subject: line?

thanks,
