Thanks for the report.
Please tell us about the system and shell you're using.
It looks like your printf (possibly the shell's built-in one) cannot
handle usage like this:

  printf '%*s-a' 1000000 > a

As for the diff above, with the "actual" diff output lacking the
".000000000" part of the time stamp, I suspect you'll benefit from
running the test with bash. It seems like the test is somehow running
your system's diff, rather than the one just build in src/. FTR, it's
this test that is failing:

  returns_ 1 env TERM=dumb diff ---presume-output-tty --color=auto a b > out \


If you still have a problem when using bash, please include the output
of running "make check VERBOSE=YES".
