There was a problem when applying the patch, possibly caused by your
email app.
git am /tmp/nandakumar
warning: Patch sent with format=flowed; space at the end of lines might be lost.
Applying: Replace unchecked malloc with xmalloc
error: corrupt patch at line 6
Patch failed at 0001 Replace unchecked malloc with xmalloc

Since the patch was simple, I've applied it by hand and will commit it
for you.  Thanks for the fix!
