I'm attempting to install a java app that uses InstallAnywhere.  This
is a shell-script installer that performs some magic and does what
it's supposed to.  Usually.  Once in a while you need to edit the
script (mostly for Linux and certain version of glibc).  As long as
the file keeps the same byte-count, all is good.

I'm seeing a bug, where when I edit the file with jed, it adds to the
size of the file.

For instance, when I edit the file with vi and then produce a diff
file, I get the following:

--- install.bin.vile	2003-12-07 04:43:26.000000000 -0500
+++ install.bin	2003-12-07 04:33:55.000000000 -0500
@@ -1983,8 +1983,8 @@
 then
 	case `uname -r` in
 	2.[456]*) 
-		#LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2
-		#export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
+		LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
+		export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
 		;;
 	esac
 fi

However, when using jed, the entire file shows up in the diff file.
And the file sizes change by ~1k.  Here's an example:

risus[04:46] ls -alb install.bin*
-rw-------    1 jerry    users    40294195 2003-12-07 04:33 install.bin
-rw-------    1 jerry    users    40499456 2003-12-07 04:44 install.bin.jed
-rw-------    1 jerry    users    40294195 2003-12-07 04:43 install.bin.vile

This isn't making any sense to me.  I'm making the exact same edits,
but I'm not seeing the same results.  Could someone please shed some
light on this?

Thanks in advance...
