I assume that you are used to this one.

Well, it is a sample reject file.

Would you like to say that it might be not written in the expected
context-difference format ?

I will not ask them about their well-known tool. I wonder myself why rejections
happened for some hunks.
Some other updated code parts were acceptable like it can be seen in the file
"bug 8160 const4 patch results.txt".

Would you like to try a comparison with the current development revision to
check if my update suggestion is still valid?

It is strange that the appropriate location could not be found by the tool,
isn't it?
Are wrong rejections possible?
