definitely smaller than 2gb ... `large binary files' are flac-encoded audio files of several hundred mb ... > Does it happen with diff 2.8.7 in experimental? > What about "cmp -l file1 file2"? will check this tomorrow ... > Just "likely to be a bug in diff" is not enough. Please provide more > evidence that it's diff and not your computer's hardware (either > memory, hard disk, CPU, or whatever). Otherwise I will close this bug. i ran the diff command several times ... i also computed the checksums (md5 and sha512) several times ... if there would be a problem with the hardware, the checksums would be likely to differ ... if the files would differ, it would be unlikely that they produce a hash collision ... best, tim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tim.klingt.org All we composers really have to work with is time and sound - and sometimes I'm not even sure about sound.
