>Description:
FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE's /usr/bin/patch cannot handle unified patches with
a blank in the filename, while GNU patch (from ports, installed as
gpatch) can.

Note that the filename on +++/--- lines extends from between the blank
after these three characters up to the next tab character.

Arguably this is nonstandard or unspecified behaviour, but then again
POSIX did not specify diff's -u format until very recently; and defers
to GNU diff.
