Looks like there is a change in permissions with the file during the
diff program run.  I might run a strace on it if someone tells me the
appropriate command to do.  Anyways here is the relevant part with
icacls before and after the diff command.

shinji@Balthasar ~
$ icacls foo.txt
foo.txt Balthasar\shinji:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO)
        Balthasar\None:(R)
        Everyone:(R)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

shinji@Balthasar ~

$ patch foo.txt foo.diff
patching file foo.txt

shinji@Balthasar ~
$ icacls foo.txt
foo.txt Balthasar\shinji:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO)
        Balthasar\None:(R)
        Everyone:(R)
        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F)
        BUILTIN\Administrators:(F)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

The 2 additional permission lines on the second icacls run is what
causes the + to appear.
