OpenBSD actually uses Larry Wall's original patch(1), though a few
modifications have been made in the time it's been in the tree. GNU
patch(1) started from this code, but has since diverged.

That addresses the specific issue, but not the larger problem of
relying on system tools that are often inconsistent. Almost a dozen
tests fail on OpenBSD right now because of the system's patch
implementation. Most of these failures are cosmetic (meaning the
operation succeeds but the output differs), but I'm still looking
into a few that show different/broken functionality.
