This isn't anything to worry about, it pretty much just means someone added
or deleted a line from the file. For instance, adding:
/* Charles Steinkuehler just looked at this C file */
would cause every applied patch to be offset by one line...
The only time I've had problems with offsets, is when there are HUGE changes
to the file, and some parts of the patch apply while others don't.
Typically, this can be caused by someone seriously editing the file, moving
chunks of it around, and deleting or re-writing big pieces of it. You just
have to look at the patch output and make an intelligent decision, but
generally, if everything's off by a few lines, it just means someone played
with the file, probably tweaking a line of code here or there, and adding
some comments.
