Could the error be caused by something inside of the patch?

The following error occured while attempting to apply the patch:
[hobbit at nbtbigbro1 hobbit-4.2-beta-20060605]$ patch -p0 <history-missing.patch (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.) patching file lib/availability.c Hunk #4 FAILED at 304. Hunk #5 FAILED at 321. 2 out of 8 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file lib/availability.c.rej (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.) patching file hobbitd/hobbitd_history.c
cannot find file 'lib/availability.c.rej'
I can find no corelation of events to anything near the timeframe this happened. Our environment was patched at 3 AM, and this all occured at 5:30AM.
The Hobbit server is Linux, so it did not receive any patches.
Others said the Hobbit page was 'going crazy', and a supervisor reset the Hobbit server. (the Hobbit server is a VMware virtual server, and resetting was the easy solution)
I have no details on what 'going crazy' means, no one is helpful.

ok, the attached patch should let you read the history file again. It cannot bring back the events that were lost, of course - but at least you should be able to view the history.
It also all happened at the same time, and not for all hosts or tests, although conn seems to be the hardest hit. Every host I have looked at,
had at least one Hostory graph failure; except for any new host eneterd after July 23rd.
I cannot see how that could happen, but just in case the patch modifies the history module to not log anything that doesn't have a valid color code.
The time when this happened, would it happen to concide with any cron-jobs, disk intensive activity, or anything else that might cause file operations to fail or go slow ?
