I'm curious: How does this compare with the behavior of "diff", both
on z/OS and on other UNICES.  I've not had the bad experience.

How small is "smaller"?

I know that SuperC and/or diff will find unintended matches  on lines
that are identical by happenstance (such as "begin" and "end") and
be badly out of sync as a result.
