Most likely your web browser un-gzipped the file automatically, but
stupidly did not remove the .gz extension from the filename. Try looking
at the patch file with any text file viewer; if it's readable text, then
this is what happened.
Netscape 4.x is the browser that most often seems to cause this problem.
If that's what you're using, I suggest upgrading; Netscape 4.x is
well-known for its bugginess. Mozilla 0.9.5, in my experience, is much
more reliable.
