There appear to be two bugs in the 2.8BSD diff source.
In diffdir.c a cast to unsigned is needed in a malloc call and
in diffreg.c a fprintf call needs a stream argument.
Quite right. The necessary changes (as described previously) are:
diff src/diff/diffdir.c.old src/diff/diffdir.c
188c188
< dp = (struct direct *)malloc(stb.st_size + sizeof (struct direct));
---
> dp = (struct direct *)malloc((unsigned)stb.st_size + sizeof (struct direct));
diff src/diff/diffreg.c.old src/diff/diffreg.c
170c170
< fprintf("diff: ");
---
> fprintf(stderr, "diff: ");
These changes are necessary on tapes written before 12/5/81. The latter
bug (in diffreg) exists in 4.1BSD as well.
