I suggest to use CVS or mercurial to check out the current source
code, fix the bug, then use either cvs diff or hg commit + hg export
to generate a patch file. Send that patch file to this mailing list
for review and inclusion in the codebase.

Another approach is to file a bug in the web based bugzilla bug
tracker for the project.
