 i've just noticed that in my 2nd message i've screwed up the command
 flags. restating everything:
 
 put words.txt and con.patch in one directory, cd to that directory, and then do:
 $ cat con.patch | patch -sp1 --check
 the --check flag means "do not actually edit files, just check to see
 what would happen". the above test run says that the patch applies
 cleanly. now do:
 $ cat con.patch | patch -sp1
 notice that now the patch actually fails, so the test run lied.
