Fine with me. ok.

Thanks for looking into this!
I never got around to fixing these tests on OpenBSD, and got regress
passing was good enough for me.

I think we always had issues with the diffs tests between platforms.
The tests were already passing on Linux as far as I remember.
Though perhaps they broke on Linux as well while more changes were
made to the diff.git code? Not sure.
