does patch.exe work different than other unx patch tools?

[Armin Theissen]

Hi, 

I searched the website for this problem, but cannot find anything 
so I want to ask you here. 

I have a patch (see attachment, supposed to patch three files down the 
directory tree) which won't work using the patch.exe tool provided with 
cygwin. However, it works perfectly with other patch.exe tools 
(UnxUtils from http://www.edv.agrar.tu-muenchen.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html )
and on unix systems itself. 

I wonder what could make the patch work with the cygwin patching 
tool. 

The patch command is 'patch -b -p2'

Any ideas? 

thanks

armin
