Hey I don't have the firmware. So I can't test it. Could you add link of original firmware to
Good & Old firmwares page?
Edit : Okey, I found it on google and put the link

ReEdit: I inspected patch process and found nothing.
Here is the patched 2008 firmware unsquashfs results:

It looks like do not reset executable permissions.
It comes to my mind that I make this in linux OS. What platform do you test the patcher? Windows? It might be crop executable permissions. Some users reports that they failed patching firmware on windows before.
