Details:
  In the attached files, join -v incorrectly lists items in the joined 
set.

I was creating a bash shell-script to calculate the maturity level
of a set of requirements.  I used the requirements tool to create a
list of item-names (first column of the file) and item-versions (2nd 
column).
It is attached as Requirement-Versions_2005-Jul-06-3a.txt.
>From that file, I created a 2nd file (for testing) with a few changes.
That file is Requirement-Versions_2005-Jul-06-3b.txt.  A diff shows
only 3 changes (1 item-name, 2 item-versions) between the files.
This is shown in the screenshot file(Screenshots.doc).  However,
when I run the join command, either directly or from the bash script,
in DOS, it shows 23 differences.
