Chris, I had the exact same error and a similar error with
Kirby's earlier patch. I don't see what would confuse "patch"
so I assumed it was an anomaly.

Anyway, I got around this by editing out the last hunk for
mainserver.cpp which is the "HandleGetRecommendedRecordings"
piece. The patch applied cleanly then I manually edited
mainserver.cpp to add in HandleGetRecommendedRecordings.

Also, check out "patch --dry-run" for help with debugging.
