#166 Diff Errors reported with certain text files

[Anonymous]

When I run xxdiff on certain files, Diff Errors are
reported.

Please run xxdiff on the attached files diff1.txt
diff2.txt to see a replication of this error.

I am using xxdiff 3.0.2 (Qt: 3.3.3) with Ubuntu Linux

Kind Regards

Yep, bug accepted. I think that it is due to the ^M
characters on just some lines, but xxdiff should not barf on
that. I will have to look at this.

Probably, my example (crash_1.txt and crash_2.txt) is due to the same error.
After a lot of error messages, xxdiff aborts with the following message:

kato ~/tmp> xxdiff crash_1.txt crash_2.txt

This happens with xxdiff 3.2 compiled and run on a SuSE 10.2 32bit system
(qt3-3.3.7-14, xorg-x11-server-7.2-30.6). Unfortunately, comparing these two
files with xxdiff on a SuSE 64bit machine crashes the X11 session. There are
no problems if I replace all carriage returns by new lines. Note that I mapped
all alphanumerical characters to the character a in both input files.
