bug#17149: shred - tape data

[Rupert Russell]

Paul,

I have a confession to make and that is I'm not sure really how to deal with 
the diff file and now the fixup for the patch.
Googling around, I can see that 
patch -p1 < shred1.diff 
needs to be run from where the source resides.
But then it's not immediately obvious to me, at my relatively light level of 
Linux knowledge, if this requires a remake or compilation of the kernel.
If it does, then it's not something I've done before, and depending on where I 
read, the methods for doing this aren't universally the same.

Might I have a few pointers please?

Thank you.

I found a glitch in that previous patch, and installed the attached fixup.
