	The following setup with diff2.0 core dumps:

	GNU diff version 2.0
	compiled gcc2.2.2 -O2 -g  (does not happen -g only)

	sun sparc station ipc, os4.1.1

A bug causes GCC 2.2.2 (sparc, with the -O2 option) to generate
incorrect code for the diag routine of GNU diff.
To work around the problem, compile diff with plain -O instead.
This bug was reported to bug-gcc in late July,
and I think it will be fixed when GCC 2.3 comes out.
