Strange behavior of diff()

Hi all,
I'm using 2012b and I'm trying to find the difference between successive elements of a vector of uint64 numbers. Here's some of them, but I get very puzzling results form diff(). For instance:
a = [4648759972
4648759972
4651621722
4652352784
4652733003
4653926753]
Then diff(a) gives the wrong result:
[5166781
5166781
2305031
1573969
1193750]
However diff(a(1:2)) gives the correct result: 0. Also diff(a(2:3)) gives the correct result: 2861750
I've been searching for an explanation but I did not find a similar problem ever reported, and I don't understand what is happening. Can anybody explain to me what is going on here?
Thanks a lot!
Paul

And to ask more directly,
which diff(uint64(0))
that will ensure you get the correct function shown for whatever uint64 is resolving to for you.

Thanks Walter; an external toolbox rerouted the call to an external diff function with bad behavior. Deleting that function solved all problems. Sorry for the late reply.

Problem solved; external diff function caused bad behavior; deleting this external function solved the problem.
