1.3.9:diff (side by side ) bug (NT and 98 )

[joseph.collard@transport.alstom.com]

Hello,
I found a bug related to diff (and sdiff) on NT 4.0 or Win98 (2)
The file cygcheck.out is attached

The Test case is as follows:

The Command
$ diff -a -b -B -i -y -W 72 base.txt  modified.txt > diffout.txt

The files base.txt modified.txt and diffout.txt are attached

Expected : 3 | , 3 < , 1 >
Get : bad format, 4 |, 2 <, 0 >

Thanks for any help
Best regards
Joseph Collard
