what's the difference between not working and working?
How about running something like:
  # have two versions of file: 'original' and 'modified'
  od -c original > o
  od -c modified > m
  diff -u o m > diffs
  grep '^\-' diffs | head -3 > del
  grep '^\+' diffs | head -3 > add
  cat del add > shortdiffs

Then show us 'shortdiffs'.
