But as I did not forget your kind words, I'll try to help.

Does the test suite use bash as it's shell?  I seem to have to use bash 
now to run the test.  I do not remember having to use bash on earlier 
1.6.0

No, bash should not be required.

It might be a regex related issue.  Could you

- run the test with -i -v (and if that does not help, "sh -x t...")?

I have to use bash to run the test or I get

$ ./t4034-diff-words.sh
./t4034-diff-words.sh: syntax error at line 52: `(' unexpected

Could you tell me what your version of t4034 has at line 52?  Mine does 
not have a single parenthesis on that line.

But if I run

$ bash ./t4034-diff-words.sh
*   ok 1: setup
*   ok 2: word diff with runs of whitespace
*   ok 3: word diff with a regular expression
*   ok 4: set a diff driver
*   ok 5: option overrides .gitattributes
* FAIL 6: use regex supplied by driver


                word_diff --color-words

Could you run it again after appending "-i -v" to the command line?

Ciao,
