Hi Dave,

Unfortunately this patch is somehow corrupted and I couldn't immediately 
figure out where so you need to fix the problem and send the series again. 

It may be worthwhile to send it yourself first and test you can apply it 
with git am yourself to make sure nothing in the way you send an email is 
causing the corruption. Once it works for you, it will likely work in my 
end as well.
