No. This is when the code is already hitting the output stage,
that is, after the diff has been created. The output code is
simply reading in the file again to output the relevant portions.

However, the error is related to writing to stdout, which is
odd.

Seeing the '$' prompt in your report, I assume you are not using
the windows native shell, but something else. Could you try
running the same command from cmd?

Thanks,

Sander
