Fortunately this time I already know the problem.  The permissions on that
patch were wrong in the ag.o/repos/darcs repository, so it wasn't readable
by the web server.  So you can try again now that that's fixed.  I've been
having trouble with my mutt macro to apply patches sent via email.  It
works all right, but for some reason the patches created that way are only
readable by user.  :(

Anyhow, if you try again, it should work.
