I made a more thorough log with a quick hack to MediaWiki -- run each
diff twice, then log it if they didn't match.
With this larger sample size, I was able to narrow down the problem to
Fedora Core *4* machines; Fedora 3 boxes were unaffected.
This made me suspect a C++ version library mismatch or some other silly
thing perhaps caused by installing a single binary across OS versions,
so I rebuilt our wikidiff2 RPM separately on FC3 and FC4, and made sure
the FC4 boxes were running the FC4 version.
The bad log entries immediately dried up, so.... so far so good. :)
