Odd.  Any idea what tool generates these patches?

Might be clearer to write

	if (timestamp[m[3].rm_so + 3] != ':')

With or without that change,

Maybe something like this on top?

Subject: apply: handle patches with funny filename and colon in timezone

Some patches have a timezone formatted like '-08:00' instead of
'-0800' in their ---/+++ lines (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/).
Take this into account when searching for the start of the timezone
(which is the end of the filename).

This does not actually affect the outcome of patching unless (1) a
file being patched has a non-' ' whitespace character (e.g., tab) in
its filename, or (2) the patch is whitespace-damaged, so the tab
between filename and timestamp has been replaced with spaces.
