Granted, I'm not you... But if I were, I would start with bpl22 and
the various raw patches and then try patching in custom changes by
hand, in logical chunks, until you find the bug. Time consuming, but
more thorough in the end. And that way if you've got strange
non-7-bit characters somewhere from a botched move off the Windows
box or a goofed cut-n-paste that might not be showing in vi...

Plus, it will make your custom patches cleaner from that point on!
