Summary: comm bug on text files not ending in newline
Description:
Hello, comm (busybox-1.11.1) has a bug in the way in handles text files
that don't end in a newline. It reports no differences, even when the
last lines are different. Here is a small test case:
$ echo -n abc >A
$ echo -n def >B
$ ./comm A B
$
Here is what comm in GNU CoreUtils 6.12 prints:
$ ~/coreutils-6.12/src/comm A B
abc
def
$
Best,
Cristian
