You should save the posting into a textfile (called "patchfile" below).
In addition, you need the source code for leafnode. To apply the patch
I posted, you cd into the directory where you have unpacked the source
code archive, do
	patch < path/to/patchfile
and then proceed according to the instructions in the INSTALL file.
