I tried two corrupted files ...
Attached the cmp -b -l 'corrupted' 'ok' :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50000000 2009-09-15 07:04 file1.ori
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50000000 2009-09-15 06:21 file1.corrupted

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50000000 2009-09-15 07:04 file2.ori
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50000000 2009-09-15 06:22 file2.corrupted
