Win4Lin 3 and 2.4.16/SuSE 7.3

Hello, and Happy New Year when it comes. Does anyone have experience of running Win4Lin 3 on Mantel's 2.4.16 kernel? I've tried applying the 2.4.16 patch from the Netraverse site as per their instructions - patch -p1 Kernel-Win4Lin3-2.4.16.patch >&2>& patch.log - and the patch command just freezes, not returning to a shell prompt. Needless to say, the kernel doesn't get patched! I've also tried this on a generic 2.4.16 kernel with the same result. Anyone got suggestions as to how I solve this? Thanks David
