Patch looks ok, but git-pw fails to apply it:

$ git-pw patch apply 51088
Applying: libio: Ensure output buffer for wchars (bug 28828)
error: patch failed: libio/wfileops.c:412
error: libio/wfileops.c: patch does not apply
error: Did you hand edit your patch?

Could you resend it? 

Also, could you also provide a regression testcase for this fix?
