Hello,
it seems that I have found a bug in comm 2.0. I have installed it from
binaries under Debian 3.0.
The only difference between the files below is "Zeile3" respectively "Zeile3."
(with a dot after). Calling
comm -3 file1 file2
says that not only "Zeile3" is different but also a few lines after.
By changing all the word "Zeile" to "row" in both files the behaviour of comm
is different: only "row3", "row3." is shown as different.
I have done another change instead: I have changed the line beginning with
"##" to "Zeile4" in both files: only "row3", "row3." is shown as different.
Making some other changes to the files give different results - somtimes
right, sometimes wrong.
Is this a known bug? Or is there already a newer version where this bug is
fixed?
With many greetings
Rolf Lucius
