Oh, line 1.  `awk --posix' here suggests length would like parenthesis.

    awk '!length() && e {next} {e = !length()} 1'

I wonder if `diff -b' is the wrong approach as it's applying the -b to
the whole file.  Would using sed to canonicalise that one line to no
spaces at start or end, and only one space in between be better?

Cheers, Ralph.
