"patch" command hangs when trying to patch kernel sources

[Robert Persson]

Hi

I downloaded the 2.4.22 kernel sources and the ppc patch and have been 
trying to apply the patch to the sources.  I place the 2.4.22 source 
directory and the patch file in the same directory and type "patch -p0 
linuxppc-2.4.22.patch", but nothing happens.  The cursor moves down a 
line, the machine stays quiet (no disk activity), but the prompt does not 
return, even after more than one hour.  Other processes seem unaffected 
and I can carry run other programs while I am waiting.

Any ideas?

Robert
