I did the original port of gnu diff.  For what it's worth, I run a version
of the Dillon/Drew Cshell which I've done some hacking on (added an
Arexx port & made it rez-able).  I have my stack set at 25000 and have
had no trouble with diff or rcs.  I've tried WShell and also Sksh with
no problems.  I can't imagine why the Arp shell would cause problems but
I will give it a try.  How much stack are you allocating?
