new as of 2002 Nov 13. Keith Briggs (work url or private url) has written new incredibly tiny and tight versions in Perl thethe.pl and Python thethe.py. Unfortunately, neither of these report the line number, which means they are hard to use on large files. Keith says: "It would be possible to report the line number but not with a 2-line program. We would have to revert to searching line by line, remembering the last word in each line and checking it against the first word of the next. I leave that as a homework exercise."
