me too ... unless the owl patch interferes with
vserver business in some nasty way, compiling it
is the first step into finding out ;)

it just means, that the owl patch inserted (or
removed) some lines before the lines patched by
the vs patch, so the 'location' of the 'hunk'
was moved a little (or somewhat, as in namei)
'down' in the 'original' file ...
with patching, there are different 'levels' ...
1) no message
hunk applied exactly as expected
2) Hunk #<m> succeeded at <l> (offset <o> lines).
the hunk <m> applied without issues, but
at line <l> which was <o> lines 'below'
the expected location
3) Hunk #<m> succeeded at <l> with fuzz <f> (offset <o> lines).
the hunk <m> applied at line <l>, <o> lines
below the expected location, but only after
removing <f> lines of 'context'
4) Hunk #<m> FAILED at <l>.
the hunk <m> expected to apply at line <l>
just didn't apply
5) Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!
it seems like this hunk has already been
applied to the 'original'
1) is perfect, usually you don't have to think
twice about 2), 3) depends on the value of <f>
(unified diffs usually have 3 lines of context,
so <f>=1 means only 2 lines, <f>=2 means just
one line of context), 4) means it wasn't applied
and 5) means it looks like it's already there
HTH,
