I ran into this problem when I went to pl28, and found the -l option
to patch quite useful.  At thay time, someone complained to Larry, and
he found the culprit.  Someone's BITNET mailer was converting the
tabs.  Nice of it, eh?  This time, I got the patched via ftp, and
there's no problem.  So it's not larry's fault.  Does anybody have any
clever ideas on how to get the patches through the Net without getting
them munged?
