I expect to make a new release soon, so please test this snapshot. Other than the two bug fixes, this also includes new dash-excluding code in init.sh's shell-selection logic, so let us know if you find a system for which /bin/dash was the only usable shell for diffutils-3.4. Now, that code will find no usable shell and "skip" nearly all tests.
