Not necessarily. The dates and times in the CVS log are in UTC, dates
and times you input (e.g., in -D) are in local time by default. Also,
entering just a date implies the time 00:00:00, so revision 1.1.5
probably hadn't happened yet. So, you want something more like:
cvs diff -D'2000-05-10 UTC' -D'2000-05-15 23:59:59 UTC' filename
or
cvs diff -D'2000-05-10 UTC' -D'2000-05-16 UTC' filename
