You most likely have changed code in your project that the hunk is appropriate for: go into the patch.c line, read the hunk, see what it is trying to do, and apply it manually. You may, based on the nature of your error, have to apply the rest of the patch manually as well (it sounds like your gnu patch program may be buggy).

Actually I mean the cryptainer.patch file, not the patch.c file. Sorry if that pushed you into the wrong direction :(

The .patch files contains the code that gnupatch is supposed to change, in a semi-cryptic series of hunks that tell the patch executable how to modify the code.

Try the patch in the Cygwin distribution. Cygwin stays pretty up-to-date with open source software ports to Win32. If you can find the bug and submit a patch for patch ;) all the better!
