Having watched many VMS versions pass without a fix to the infinite loop caused
by using DIFF/MAX, I decided to find the patch myself.  The following patch
should be applied to DIFF.EXE:

PATCH>replace/i 296a
OLD>  'movl (r2),r2'
OLD>  exit
NEW>  'movl (r2),r2'
NEW>  'movl #1,r5'
NEW>  exit
old:	0000296A:  MOVL    (R2),R2
new:	0000296A:  BRW     PAA
new:	PAA:  MOVL    (R2),R2
new:	00004203:  MOVL    #01,R5
