Congrats on solving your problem!  Isn't open source great? :)

I'm not in need of a patch, but in case someone else is, here's a short 
tutorial on making and applying patches:

As you can probably guess from the URL, this was part of Val's kernel 
hacking lessons.  It's my favourite easy explanation of patching.  You 
don't need to read the rest of the lessons or know anything about 
kernel hacking (or even *want* to know) for this to be useful to you!
