I think not. Thanks for your patch though.
Patch has a heuristic to determine when the line endings of an entire patch
have been mangled (as may happen when patches are included in emails), but it
does assume that the input and output files have the correct line endings.
You did not further describe the problem you are running into, but does it go
away with patch's --binary option?
Thanks,
Andreas
