The two patches are different, you need to apply them both to fix the two 
problems.  The first patches not handling symbolic link files properly; 
the second fixes not setting the file permission properly.

The patches are the changes made in the source code "tramp.el," they are 
text files.  I guess you can use "diff mode" or other things to apply 
them, I just manually changed "tramp.el" according to the patches and 
recompiled it.

I re-attached the first one here.
