The stuff on your local archive must have been created by pre-patch 
tools.  But I think the problem was with svn-cur.00501, not svn-cur.00500.

Because of necessary changes in patch-04, I had to update all the 
svn-cur files.  The old ones won't work.  The error you are getting is 
entirely consistent with what I expect if you were using old files.
