F8: Bug in diff ?

[Ian Thurlbeck]

Dear All

please confirm that what I'm seeing here is a bug before I bugzilla it.

Create 2 files, f1, f2 with contents "abc" and "abc " (without quotes),
i.e. the same line with a space on the end.

Diff ignoring whitespace:

diff -b f1 f2

should produce no diff output, but does on F8. Works fine on FC6.

version: diffutils-2.8.1-17.fc8

Thanks

Ian
