[SOLVED] Applying bottom stack patch to dwm

I have finally moved to a tiling window manager and am finding it equal parts rewarding and frustrating. I'm using dwm-5.6.1-1.

I would like to apply the bottom stack patch but, after having read the instructions on the dwm site I get the following error:

can't find file to patch at input line 37
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I used -p0 as the patch page states: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/bottom_stack

I have also looked at these couple of posts to try and work it out, but the advice seems to conflict:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78263
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61499

Is there a definitive way to apply the patch, or should I just skulk back to a simpler WM?

/edit

OK: so after some experimentation, it works... The updated dwm patch page and the second post solved it.
