Subj. says it. The patch contains several lines complaining about "No newline".
After removing these the patch was applicable.
Odd. This worked cleanly when I tried it on RedHat 7.1. What version
of patch is this?
The offending lines are flagged with a \ in col.1, which is
undocumented in the info file for diff, but obviously discernible from
ordinary unidiff lines (which have either space, + , or - ). So I
suspect that a recent "patch" just treats that as a comment.
Looks like the problem could be difficult to avoid (except by ensuring
that we don't have any files without terminal newlines) since I see no
diff option controlling the behaviour.
BTW: The offending files are these:

+++ R-1.3.1/src/library/base/man/kronecker.Rd Sun Aug 5 02:00:39 2001

The ones in the .Rd files should be avoidable. I'm less sure about the
Mac files.
