I can't install the patch with 'git am' and get:

  Applying: Make preview placement more flexible
  error: patch failed: preview.el.in:3273
  error: preview.el.in: patch does not apply
  Patch failed at 0001 Make preview placement more flexible

Do have the chance to look at this and resolve this?  Otherwise I'll
have to have a closer look.

TIA.  Best, Arash
