Hmmm -- works for me:

  # tar xzf crash-5.0.9.tar.gz
  # cd crash-5.0.9
  # patch -p1 < $HOME/symbols.patch
  patching file help.c
  patching file kernel.c
  patching file alpha.c
  patching file ppc.c
  patching file s390.c
  patching file s390x.c
  patching file ppc64.c
  patching file x86_64.c
  patching file symbols.c
  patching file lkcd_x86_trace.c
  patching file unwind.c
  patching file defs.h
  # 

Maybe you were trying to apply them on top of your last patch?
Anyway, as long as you're happy with the end result...
