Are you sure you put '<' - redirection? The patch is not gzipped or
something. From the fact that patch 'hangs' it looks like it's waiting for
input on stdin, which would happen if you didn't supply one to it. For
gzipped:
gzip -dc <patch.gz> | patch -p1
bzipped
bzip2 -dc ...
But you probably know all that - sorry, from your previous message it
looked like you had no idea at all what to do with a patch:-) What patch
is it? Does it look right? (tried more <patch>)
