This is interesting, but I observe different issues. Consider for
example the following diff:
*** #cvs.cvsup-20614.43 2009-12-29 08:56:31.000000000 +0600
--- cpucontrol.c,v 2009-12-29 04:58:12.000000000 +0600

We can observe the following:
1. There is an extra newline near the end of the file.
2. The changes in the file are the same but placed in different
positions in the file.
Any ideas?
