Looks sane except that I do not think you need printf nor the leading
blank line, i.e.

	echo "Patch failed at $msgnum ($FIRSTLINE)"

Hmm, IIRC if $FIRSTLINE contains \n or something like that, it will
interpret this as newline in some shell/echo implementations.

So printf "...%s..." "$FOO" is always sane for user input.
