Here are the error messages (from the attachment text) that vimdiff
and strace gave:

Strace always provides the same error message, while vimdiff changes
the message slightly each time, sometimes adding a few extra other
error messages afterwards. You can see more instances of the vimdiff
error in the second attachment.
