It's a tabs-vs-spaces issue. The original file has a single tab on the  
"int index =" line, and 5 tabs (and no spaces) on the following line.  
The rest of the code base is already inconsistent about it (heck, the  
rest of that *file* isn't consistent), so I wouldn't worry about it  
too much. Maybe one of these days I'll M-x untabify all of Kawa and  
send Per a huge patch that touches practically every file...

Though if you're going to use spaces, you should probably put 8 there  
and not 7 (I know, you were trying to tweak it to get the svn diff  
output to look the same). It's usually tricky to hand-edit patch  
files, but in this case you could delete lines 22 and following of  
LispFormat.patch and it would do the right thing.
