HI, Lady/Gentleman:
 
This is Kissinger, a Gnuwin32 user. Today I use diff to compare some big files
and try to retrieve the differences between files.
 
For some big files, the diff work well and I can get the differences. But for
some other big files, the diff will crash with
such error message:"diff.exe: memory exhausted". These files are more then 500
MB, pure text files. And I use the diff of 2.8.7, my OS is windows 2003.
 
It seems there is an issue in the Gnuwin32 diff tool. Has this issue been reported?
I can not search this issue from help.
 
If convenient, can you tell me how to resolve this issue? Is there any another
diff-like tool? Thanks.
 
 
Kissinger
