Well, line offsets can change; since we pull in patches from Percona,  
we don't keep refreshing them all the time unless something breaks on  
a version upgrade. patch is decently smart as long as it has  
sufficient context (default 3 lines before and after).
Also, your quilt/diff options may differ; I tend to use options to  
have diff put in the extra comments to show the function it's in after  
the line#.

If it's causing hassles, do paste a chunk for us to look at?


Cheers,
Arjen.
