Follow-up Comment #4, bug #64624 (project groff):

[comment #3 comment #3:]
>   Using "naked" diff does not provide the surroundings to pinpoint the
> place where the difference occurs.

A bare diff does lack context but shows line numbers.  But in the comment #2
case, the location of the one line of difference is not terribly relevant,
given that the differing line (a grout "x F" command) has no effect on
rendered output.

>   So you have an extra line with three zeros.

No, the three zeroes are the output of "wc", indicating that that "diff"
produced no output.  I added "| wc" to try to be clear that there were no
differences (rather than seeming perhaps I had truncated the copy/paste), but
that seems to have backfired. (:

$ pic test.pic | diff - 64624.pic.out
5c5
< .lf 1 test.pic
---
> .lf 1 /home/bg/testen/prof.pic

Still only a difference in filename.

Your attached prof.pic is identical to the test.pic I originally posted
inline.

What are your attachments trying to illustrate?
