The problem seems to be that there are carriage returns present in the 
file OOO300_m15/curl/curl-7.12.2.patch

Removing the carriage returns seems to have cured the problem (but the 
build hasn't finished yet, so there might be another problem).

Why did it build on STABLE but not CURRENT?  Why did it used to build on 
CURRENT, but doesn't now?
