>Description:
man (1) diff says to use        diff -crN foo.orig foo >foo.diff  to create a diff patch, where it should be -urN (as told to me by dho on ##freebsd)
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the man (1) diff and on the website http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff&sektion=1

>Fix:
--- diff.orig   Wed Nov  2 21:31:06 2005
