Well; the report didn't provide much information, so I made an educated guess.
Would you provide a more accurate description?

Also, out of curiosity; does `cmp` also fail?, would that user visible
EOVERFLOW from diff be also worth fixing?

confirmed the diffutils (version 3.9) in that version of openSUSE, is
affected (both diff and cmp) by the Y2K38 bug[1], but grep is not.

attached v3 would workaround the diffutils bug in the test, and show that
grep is working.

That fixes the failure.
