It could very well be an artifact of my turning off write access.   
I'm just guess, but maybe you need write access if you have a  
writable checkout and try to do a diff (because CVS wants to create a  
lock in the repository in that case).  You could try enabling your  
write access to do the diff and see if that helps.

There's only a handful of us that have developer privs on the  
project, so I'm not /too/ concerned about accidental CVS commits.  I  
just did it so an accidental commit would let you know to switch to  
svn, but I guess it messes up this case too.

Yep r425 was the switch point.
