    I've tried to apply the attached patch (and the one on the dmenu
web-site) with both patch and git-apply, and they've both complained:

~~~~
curl 'http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/dmenu-4.2.1-fastgrab.diff'
| git apply
fatal: corrupt patch at line 21
~~~~
curl 'http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/dmenu-4.2.1-fastgrab.diff'
| patch -p1
patching file dmenu.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 21: @@ -101,15 +108,61 @@

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks,
