A bug in diff resulted in incorrect differences from 18.35 to 18.36. Two files, scribe.el and x-menu.el, lacked a final newline in 18.35 but had one in 18.36. diff thought that the entire last line had been inserted in 18.36 and generated output to say so. As a result, if you got diff-18.35-18.36 from prep before this minute and ran it through patch, you probably caused the last lines of scribe.el and x-menu.el to be duplicated. The file diff-18.35-18.36 has been corrected on prep.
