Bug#1078256: latexdiff: slight modification to a length passed to \raisebox results in diff output that does not compile

Package: latexdiff
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: tilmann at gfz-potsdam.de, debbug.latexdiff at sideload.33mail.com

An old version has text like this:

  \raisebox{-4\baselineskip}{\begin{minipage}…\end{minipage}}

A new version has instead:

  \raisebox{-5\baselineskip}{\begin{minipage}…\end{minipage}}

This results in diff output that latexpdf chokes on. Sample input
files are attached.
