I can't reproduce your problem.  Perhaps you are using some other
sdiff, not GNU sdiff?

What is the output of the following commands?

sdiff --version
diff --version


Here is how I tried to reproduce your problem, but GNU sdiff seems to
be working for me.  I am using GNU diff 2.8.4, which you can get from
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.4.tar.gz>.
