The "1" and "2" part of that patch is now installed, albeit done in a
different way.
Thanks for adopting this, Paul.
Can you please remind me what the deal is with the external editor?
Of course. At least with diff-2.7 or thereabouts, invoking the
external editor via "e l" or "e r" would always fail and return the
warning from this line of diff code:
fatal ("Subsidiary editor failed");
...it appeared that perhaps the wstatus variable wasn't getting set
from calling waitpid()? I'll see whether I can reproduce it with
diff-2.8.x-- perhaps it has been fixed since...
