Ediff often fails on compressed files. Take the following steps to
reproduce it:
$ echo "foo" | gzip -c > foo.gz
$ echo "bar" | gzip -c > bar.gz
$ emacs -Q --eval '(ediff-files "foo.gz" "bar.gz")'
Emacs will beep and display the buffer "*ediff-errors*" containing a
line with
Binary files /tmp/foo.gz and /tmp/bar.gz differ
And why is that a bug?
It works on Emacs 21, provided that auto-compression-mode is enabled.
So I think it should work on Emacs 22, too.
Perhaps you want `ediff-buffers', not `ediff-files'?
Well, `ediff-buffers' fails the same way. :-(
If you want to reproduce it, be sure to remove the files
/tmp/{foo,bar}.gz first -- if they exist, the bug is not triggered.
(And create the original ones in your home directory, not in /tmp.)
