That's probably not it, I have 2.5.0 and I get the same
error when trying to apply it with 'git am'.
Well, simply the patch context is broken in the first hunk:
The first hunk in the mail:

While the top of src/fdstream.c:

So the first hunk in the patch either changes a whitespace that is not
visible or was edited manually and is wrong. Additionally it does not
match the context in the file.
