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.
