[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
--------------------------------------
Compute the levenshtein distance between "709113544" and "1555855732":
var dmp = new diff_match_patch();
var diffs = dmp.diff_main("709113544", "1555855732");
var distance = dmp.diff_levenshtein(diffs);

--------------------------------------
What is the expected output? 
10 (that's the length of the bigger string)
What do you see instead?
14
