Try 1.8.2 it fixes a bug where files were not being closed after accessing them. This does not reproduce readily on my machine with current 1.8 or master. The latest releases are at https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/.
Will wait until it gets updated with "apt update" and report back.
Marking as solved since works perfectly fine with Version 1.9.6 (64 bit).
