A typical case is that the file is somehow modified after the CVS process starts, so the application of the patch fails. Another is that the file contains binary data, but is not marked as -kb, and patch gets confused. When I wrote the code originally, CVS would invoke patch as a separate program. That could fail in various ways, so I added the second loop as a fallback so that cvs update would work correctly even if patch failed.
