Hi!

This is the next part of my previous e-mail.
After some investigation I figured out that chk_filedifference is the reason 
of the bug:
The different pB==NULL handling is a good indicator of the bug (which is 
totally needless in bugfree chk_filedifference): almost the same happens here.
The problem is the "while(pA && pB)"; if we reach the end of pB first, then 
the remaining pA is cut down...
As an illustration I attached an other failing pactest file, which also 
demonstrates this clearly (and tests a now not checked case).

Bye
