>Description:
When you try to submit a patch file AND you are using FireFox THEN  you get a 'bad file type' error message.

This is caused by the following lines in the web page:

 <label for="PATCH">And/or patch file (100KB max)</label>: <input id="PATCH" type="FILE"
name="patch" maxlength="102400" accept="text/*" /><br />

Firefox is a little too clever and determines that the MimeType is 'application/xxx'

Sigh... which it is...
