Looks like there is a problem with lines in the patch files which are 
longer than some number of characters, perhaps 78, getting re-formatted 
into two separate lines.   Perhaps a mailer has rearranged these lines 
for you, resulting in the patch failing.  You could edit them back into
single lines -- if it is obvious which ones should be on single lines  -- 
or try to acquire the patches again, through a different route, to try
to avoid the problem.

You mentioned this failed in patch #1 - it should be on a single line:
! static char Xrcsid[] = "$XConsortium: Create.c,v 1.66 89/11/14 14:18:56 swick Exp $";
