I'm curious if anyone else has found this bug in the newest release of
diff3 off of prep.ai.mit.edu.

Define the following files:

  

ver0:		ver1:		ver2:
Last Line	#		2
^D		#		#
		Last Line	2
		^D		2
				#
				Last Line
				^D

When I run 'diff3 ver1 ver0 ver2', I get the following error:

	internal: screwup in format of diff blocks

I am currently trying to figure out what the problem is with this. If 
anyone else has seen (or solved!) this problem, please let me know.
