On OpenBSD 3.4, the diff options -b and -w have the interesting feature (actually listed as a bug) that they ignore whitespace for preparing the diff, but the exit status will be 1 nonetheless, if the files are at all different. This leads to several failures in the current regression tests, because the expected files are off by some whitespace.
It appears we must not use the options for determining whether the test failed, only for creating the diff output. Or does anyone have a better idea? -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
