diffutils 2.8.1 (RedHat 9 2.8.1-6)

It seems that diff reports the output line number rather than the line
number of the file when the first file does not appear in the original
library but does in the new library.  I am seeing .

. when there are only 23 lines in the file, 009.ksh.  This is causing patch
to fail of course.  I'm using Patch v2.5.4 as provided in RH9 in an effort
to have it help me update roughly 80,000 lines of code that differ from one
version to another.
