 Agreed.  However, this is "contrib" software from an external source, 
 and we generally prefer to get them patched upstream to avoid having to 
 maintain local patches.  I think this is the project page:
 http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/
 
 It's not clear how they prefer to get bug reports, but maybe a post to 
 their mailing list would help.
