I'm the one who originally posted the patch. But the
"include/mb/pg_wchar.h" was as complete source in the ZIP attached to
my mail on 02.11.04 as well as patch in my mail on 30.11.04 with
correct contents.

And also in the confirmation of Bruce Momjian from 30.11.04 "Your patch
has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list ..." there was
the correct file contents listed.

So what happened? - How can I make sure that my patches will be applied
correctly, also for further patches?

With best regards,

Roland.
