///      for (Int_t i=0;i<na+nb;i++) {
///         if (a[ia-1] < b[ib-1]) {
///            rdiff -= sa;
///            ia++;
///            if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
///         } else if (a[ia-1] > b[ib-1]) {

///        }
///         rdmax = TMath::Max(rdmax,TMath::Abs(rdiff));

///   For the last case, a=b, the algorithm advances each array by one index in an

///   old CERNLIB method is wrong is that it implies that the function defined as the
///   difference between a and b is multi-valued at x -- besides being ugly, this
///   would invalidate Kolmogorov's theorem).
///   The solution is to just add while-loops into the equality-case handling to
