this sounds quite strange, because here:

Anyway, I made some tests:
- - I've always the problem above if I use the command
	bunzip2/gunzip -c [patch].bz2/gz | patch -p1

- - if I bunzip2/gunzip + untar (so 'tar xvf[j|z]') and then I use the
manual patching script present in the 'cpufreq' package, all goes well

As this is the only patch which doesn't work on my system, I think
there's a problem in the patch, but maybe as I'm on Debian unstable,
there could be some bugs on my machine.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
