The internal diff is apparently buggy. On a pathological (but real life) text 
file, mtn diff never returns. mtn diff --external works fine. This seems to 
have broken somewhere between 0.44 and 0.48. I have reports of this working for 
some people and not others, so it may depend on platform or libraries, but I 
haven't been able to isolate it further.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. gunzip v1.txt.gz
2. gunzip v2.txt.gz
3. mtn add v1.txt
4. mtn ci v1.txt
5. cp v2.txt v1.txt
6  mtn diff v1.txt

Expected result:
----------------
completion

Actual results:
---------------
100% CPU forever

Output of `mtn version --full`:
-------------------------------
