It looks like the problem was due to having made rcs
once with the wrong options in src/Makefile, and
then not deleting the (created) shell file "merge".
(Paul Eggert responded that I need to remake merge,
and that fixed the posted problem).
In addition to this problem (but unrelated to it),
I had made diff3 with bindir set to /usr/local/bin,
but had installed diff as /bin/diff, so I needed
to remake diff3, too.
Once I took these steps, everything worked out fine!
Thanks to Andy Warner, Paul Eggert, and Gordon L. Burditt.
(and anybody else who sent a response I haven't gotten yet
-- sometimes email is slow)
