OK. Checked out the "packages" project from xemacs cvs. Here's an
updated patch. I tested the diff-mode.el from cvs for the same bug
and it's still there. Please use the changelog entry from the last
message it's still appropriate.

Thanks again, the patch applies ok now. However, I could not reproduce
the problem you described with the non-patched diff-mode, though I only
tried with the patch you sent for it. OTOH, the patch didn't seem to
break anything.
If possible, I'd like to see a sample diff/patch where the problem
occurs; could you send me one (and Cc: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org)?
I'll put your diff-mode patch on hold for this.
Additionally, since the XEmacs diff-mode.el is now essentially same as
the GNU Emacs 21.2 one, I suspect they might have these problems too,
and think they'd be grateful for a patch as well :)
Cheers,

I've attached the patch file I tested it with. It's a portion of the
.diff.gz generated for a debian package.

Is the author in diff-mode.el an appropriate place to send it?

Ok, I'm convinced and confused, seems like I screw up something when
previously testing the patch. Anyway, I got the problem reproduced and
saw your patch fixing it, I'm committing it in a minute. Thanks.

I'm not sure, there's no mention about the maintainer of the mode. But
I guess the author won't mind, and a Cc: to <bug-gnu-emacs(a)gnu.org>
would be a good idea.
