No problem. That's only an eye-issue though, since the diff is still a

From the day I released 0.18, xregression is continuosly running w/out
any issue. I'll check it out though ...

There is another to report, when ctxlen == 0.

Between the attached files "diff -u0 8f352aa dd40a03", the
header for a hunk with only inserted lines misidentify the
original location.

For example, the first hunk says:

	@@ -0,0 +6 @@
       +#include "diff.h"

Which is inconsistent with what GNU diff says:

	@@ -5,0 +6 @@
       +#include "diff.h"

I've tried this patch but it is not right; the diff between the
attached two files show a 47-line hunk that inserts at line 400,
then the next 6-line hunk inserts at line 401 which is obviously
bogus.

The fix is fine, but you should do the same even in the s2 case. The correct hunk should have been:

@@ -6,0 +6 @@

because the lines are actually inserted at the 6th position, but patch handle its own special 0 count case by adding 1 to the position, so I had to change even the xpatchi.c code. The 0-context diffs are pretty dangerous though, since in case of purely added hunks, patch has no way to verify the orig-file position by matching contexts.
Now I'll take a look at the pre-diff optimization issue ...
