It doesn't work for me either, but it does not crash. Which lincvs and diffutils versions are you using? lincvs.org provides snapshots, if you like to try it.

I found how to fix that, I selected an external diff command tried a diff, it crashed, then removed the checkbox and it worked.

Well, I don't think this is an issue we have to take care of. You may test the snapshot anyways and report upstream, if you can reproduce the crash and your time allows it. :)

It used to work up to 1.3.0 on Debian for me (didn't have a Debian box after that) and then it crashed on for me on FreeBSD but other apps crashed too so I didn't bother reporting that.

I suppose it maybe is a crash caused by the configuration because I copied it over from the FreeBSD box. Can't reproduce it anymore though.
