>Description:

cmp(1) says that the "EOF on filexxx" message is printed to stdout but
it is actually printed to stderr.  I don't know whether the program or
the man page corresponds to Posix, but the program appears to be
consistent with other unixes.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run cmp on two files one of which is an initial subset of the other.
Observe where the message is printed.

>Fix:
	
should be trivial :-)
