xxdiff internal error on mixed line endings

[Martin Günther]

Binary package hint: xxdiff

I have two files (see attachment), file1.txt and file2.txt (see attachment). file1.txt contains only macintosh-style line endings (\r), file2.txt contains mixed \r and \n.

xxdiff file1.txt file2.txt gives an internal error message:

================================
xxdiff (hordiffImp.cpp:275):

Internal error.

There has been an internal error within xxdiff.
To report bugs, please use the sourceforge bug tracker
at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2198
and log the above information above and if possible,
the files that caused the error, and as much detail as
you can to reproduce the error.
================================

I fixed the line endings:
tr "\r" "\n" < file1.txt > fixed1.txt
tr "\r" "\n" < file2.txt > fixed2.txt

Afterwards, xxdiff fixed1.txt fixed2.txt works.

BTW, I'm using Intrepid Ibex.

Only wanted to let you know that this bug is still present in Karmic.

Oh, and by the way, I messed up the testdata.tgz. It's actually a testdata.tar.gz.gz :-)
