  It is observed that when trying to perform a base aware merge
  using diffmerge of Rhapsody 7.6.1 on Linux, the resultant merged

  Below are the steps to reproduce the reported behavior:
  
  1. Run diffmerge.exe on the attached model files
  (Service_prelsv4.sbs and Service_gen.sbs) as shown below:
  
   ./diffmerge.exe -abort -base Service_base.sbs -out
  Service_merge_right.sbs Service_prelsv4.sbs Service_gen.sbs
  
  2. Start the merge from GUI. Resolved the merge conflicts
  (choose 'take from right') and Save.
  
  3. Create a new rhapsody project and 'Add to model' the merged
  sbs file (Service_merge_right.sbs).
  
  4. Browse to Packages -? Service -? ServiceSm -? Statechart -?
  States -? Initialising -? Statechart  and open it.
