Subject: bug#33128: cmp -l misses differences

Hi,

it seems that "cmp -l" doesn't list all differences. The attached blobs differ
among others at positions 0x437 (1079), 0x4b7 (1207) and 0x5b7 (1463).
One file contains 0x80 at these positions, the other 0. cmp shows neither of
these. I tested with 3.5 and Git Head.

It would be interesting to compare with other implementations, but I don't
have one available.

Regards,
