(I'm CC'ing this to bug-cvs just incase it's a CVS bug) I've certainly never seen any behaviour like this. There is no difference in the 'diff' code between NT and Unix, and anyway I'm fairly sure that just doing a cvs diff won't modify the repository anyway. Possibly odd characters in the filenames/paths might cause problems (try to avoid spaces, punctuation, etc.) but there appears to be none of that here. Any suggestions welcome!
