/*
 * The following code uses an algorithm due to Harold Stone,
 * which finds a pair of longest identical subsequences in
 * the two files.
 *
 * The major goal is to generate the match vector J.
 * J[i] is the index of the line in file1 corresponding
 * to line i in file0. J[i] = 0 if there is no
 * such line in file1.
 *
 * Lines are hashed so as to work in core. All potential
 * matches are located by sorting the lines of each file
 * on the hash (called "value"). In particular, this
 * collects the equivalence classes in file1 together.
 * Subroutine equiv replaces the value of each line in
 * file0 by the index of the first element of its
 * matching equivalence in (the reordered) file1.
 * To save space equiv squeezes file1 into a single
 * array member in which the equivalence classes
 * are simply concatenated, except that their first
 * members are flagged by changing sign.
 *
 * Next the indices that point into member are unsorted into
 * array class according to the original order of file0.
 *
 * The cleverness lies in routine stone. This marches
 * through the lines of file0, developing a vector klist
 * of "k-candidates". At step i a k-candidate is a matched
 * pair of lines x,y (x in file0, y in file1) such that
 * there is a common subsequence of length k
 * between the first i lines of file0 and the first y
 * lines of file1, but there is no such subsequence for
 * any smaller y. x is the earliest possible mate to y
 * that occurs in such a subsequence.
 *
 * Whenever any of the members of the equivalence class of
 * lines in file1 matable to a line in file0 has serial number
 * less than the y of some k-candidate, that k-candidate
 * with the smallest such y is replaced. The new
 * k-candidate is chained (via pred) to the current
 * k-1 candidate so that the actual subsequence can
 * be recovered. When a member has serial number greater
 * that the y of all k-candidates, the klist is extended.
 * At the end, the longest subsequence is pulled out
 * and placed in the array J by unravel
 *
 * With J in hand, the matches there recorded are
 * checked against reality to assure that no spurious
 * matches have crept in due to hashing. If they have,
 * they are broken, and "jackpot" is recorded--a harmless
 * matter except that a true match for a spuriously
 * mated line may now be unnecessarily reported as a change.
 *
 * Much of the complexity of the program comes simply
 * from trying to minimize core utilization and
 * maximize the range of doable problems by dynamically
 * allocating what is needed and reusing what is not.
 * The core requirements for problems larger than somewhat
 * are (in words) 2*length(file0) + length(file1) +
 * 3*(number of k-candidates installed), typically about
 * 6n words for files of length n.
