[ale] diff being boneheaded

[Jim Kinney]

I've got 2 text files  > 6M lines each. Each file is sorted in dictionary
order. diff is flagging identical lines between them as different but not
all lines.

I look at the output and can see no reason why they are flagged except for
maybe one line is too far away from the same line in the other file.

There is some crap from a mac backup list that was in a different codepage
but I think I've fixed that.

Ideas on how to tell diff to ignore the line count between lines? Basically
all I want is a fast "these lines are not in the other file" for both files.
