Bug Report: Diff 2.7 has incorrect output for files with LFCR as line terminator.

[Alex Bochannek]

Hi!

It appears that "diff - GNU diffutils version 2.7" (Solaris 8)
produces incorrect output for context and unified diffs when applied
to files, which use LFCR as a line termination sequence. The diffs are
in fact accurate, but the first column (with '+', '-', '!', etc.) is
missing:

Here is the example output from the file with LFCR:

--- file1
+++ file2

configure dot1q ethertype 8100

And here with the CR's removed:

The files in question are configuration files generated by Extreme
network switches and the only files I have come across to use the
unusual LFCR line termination.

Please let me know, if you need any further information.

Thanks.
