All three of your patches have been severely corrupted by
your email client.  Sequences of one or more tab characters
have been converted in a single space, etc.

This makes your changes unusable.

You've already gone through two iterations trying to submit
these bug fixes.  Please take some time out to verify that
your outging patches in emails can be received accurately
and applied by the receiver (send the patch to yourself
and try to apply it, for example).

Thanks.
