Package: diff
Version: 2.8.1-12
Severity: important

when copying large binary files from one partition to another, i used 
diff to verify, that copying the data worked correctly. diff reports 
'binary files differ' for a few files, though.
comparing the file checksums, the files don't differ, though. i tested 
it with both md5 and sha512 checksums ... so it is highly unlikely that 
it is a problem with the files, but rather a bug in diff ...

hth, tim
