diffutils 3.0 was released 2010-05-03, and the patch by Paul is dated
2010-08-12 (i.e. later), so it should not be a surprise that the bug
is still there.

A problem similar to this one has been reported here:

http://bugs.debian.org/633978

Should I try to backport the patch to diffutils 3.0 in Debian,
or maybe there will be a new stable release sometime soon?

Thanks.
