Description

Currently, difflines() skips to the next line consisting of single dot while processing Na and Nc cases, assuming that it's the end of current block - it shouldn't, and needs to correctly calculate the changed lines count (as done for, e.g. N,Nc and Nd cases). Current behavior breaks for e.g. man pages, where single dot line is pretty normal.
