SUMMARY
Data loss error dialog is displayed when comparing 3 files and the "Align B and C for 3 input files" preference is checked.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download the 3 input file that are attached. These file will demonstrate the problem.
2. open kdiff3, go into the kdiff3 settings and check the "Align B and C for 3 input files" option in the Diff Settings tab
3. diff the 3 files by running: kdiff3 a b c

OBSERVED RESULT
a Severe Internal Error dialog will pop-up saying:
Data loss error:
If it is reproducible please contact the author."

My removing line 3 from file c the issue will go away. 

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected kdiff3 to open normally and display the differences between the 3 files
