Looks like this patch was lost in transit:

You may have better luck using cumulative patch from here:
http://nginx.org/patches/patch-nginx-keepalive-full-6.txt

Alternatively, just use svn trunk or wait several days for 1.1.4.  
Upstream keepalive patches were committed yesterday and will be 
available in next devel release.
