Hello,

Please try to run diff3 from diffutils 3.4 as follows:

echo a > a.txt
echo b > b.txt
echo c > c.txt
diff3 a.txt b.txt c.txt

Expected output (with diff3 from diffutils 3.3):

====
1:1c
 a
2:1c
 b
3:1c
 c

Actual output (with diff3 from diffutils 3.4):

====3
1:1c
2:1c
 a
3:1c
 c

There was only one commit in src/diff3.c between 3.3 and 3.4:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/diffutils.git/commit/src?id=3b74a905c5460e7979c53273ac90345860d001a7

Reverting this commit fixes the issue.

Best
Bastian
