* ediff.el (ediff-set-diff-overlays-in-one-buffer, ediff-set-fine-overlays-in-one-buffer,ediff-goto-word) make sure we use the syntax table of the correct buffer.

(ediff-mark-if-equal): check that the arguments are strings, use ediff-same-contents (after to Felix Gatzemeier). * ediff.el (ediff-merge-on-startup): don't set buffer-modified-p to nil.
