Defect Description:
	PHCO_28010:
	( SR:8606318888 CR:JAGae81378 )
	bdiff(1) gives output in different format than diff(1)
	when the two files are same except one line which is
	added/deleted at the end of one of the files

	Resolution:
	For single line differences at the end of two files,
	bdiff(1) has been changed to output in the same format
	as diff(1).

	( SR:8606301388 CR:JAGae64833 )
	bdiff(1) behaves incorrectly on files that are otherwise
	identical but a few lines are added/deleted at the end/start
	of one file.

	Steps to reproduce.
	$cat file1
	line 1
	$cat file2
	line 1
	line 2
	$bdiff file1 file2
	53687139602> line 2  <== The output is wrong

	Resolution:
	The formatting of the output has been corrected to rectify
	the problem.

Enhancement:
	No
