Heh, the answer isn't really tremendously obvious, so feel good or
something.  :)

On some machines, the file structure member which has the file number
(file descriptor?  I don't recall) renamed.  While the patch may expect
_fileno, in actuality, your machine probably has the same data stored in
the variable _file.  So change _fileno to _file on those lines and all
should be good.
