Please, user -u when you do a diff:
 * it makes it easier to see what the patch changes
 * it makes it easier to find the location you changed in the file. None
of my copies of socket.c match yours so all the line offsets are off
 * it is more robust if you want to apply the patch to a modified
version of the file (translation Unified diff formats actually have
a chance to apply properly, yours does not)

   So I suggest you put the following line in your .cvsrc:

diff -u

   All this is also explained there:

   That said I must appologize: I am the one who broke this piece of
code. A very bad case of copy/paste.
   Sincere appologies.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're different.
