Hmm. The rc patches are automatically generated from the git tree
these days, so I don't have control over them.

It does sound like you might have caught it while it was being generated:

> patch: **** unexpected end of file in patch

which would seem to indicate that maybe you just caught it while it
was still being generated.

But I just tried it myself, and get the same breakage. In fact, the
patch it downloads is exactly 50397184 bytes in size. That may not
sound like a round number, but it is: it is hex 0x3010000, so it's
evenly divisible by 65536.

Methinks there's some incorrect flushing of block IO going on. Konstantin?

So I don't sign the rc patches any more because I don't generate them
(but the final release patches and tar-balls I *do* sign).

But maybe they could be signed by some kernel.org key.

Again, that would be an automation issue..
