My concerns were also very specific: your patches are way too large.  
There is a rule of thumb that the likelihood of a bug is the square of the 
number of changed lines, I am sure you heard that before.

[...] your patch adds at least ten lines outside of diff.h/diff.c.

That is _such_ a red herring.
