ven the primary purpose of colordiff is to add colour, in the case of
any ambiguity, it will add colour rather than not. I agree that if one
explicitly says 'color=no' it shouldn't add colour; even though this
remains in my eyes and entirely pointless & unnecessary use of
colordiff!
Thanks Francois :-)

After some work done here, it looks like the *cause* of this error is
when $file is undefined in /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles and that only
happens if /etc/syslog.conf mentions a file which actually doesn't
