When I try and do an external diff with an older
version of a file, using either the graph or manually
specifying a revision number, wincvs outputs the following:

cvs update -p -r 1.1.2.8 -- ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL (in
directory C:\SandBox\ResWareHead\ResWareSQL\)
===================================================================
Checking out ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL
RCS: /devel/cvs/ResWareSQL/Attic/ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL,v
VERS: 1.1.2.8
***************

and does nothing but cycle fishes. If I then press stop
I get the following output:

cvs [update aborted]: received interrupt signal

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

cvs diff -r 1.1.2.8 -- ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL (in
directory C:\SandBox\ResWareHead\ResWareSQL\)
Index: ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL
===================================================================
RCS file:
/devel/cvs/ResWareSQL/Attic/ResWareSchemaFNAS.DDL,v
retrieving revision 1.1.2.8
retrieving revision 1.1.2.9
diff -r1.1.2.8 -r1.1.2.9

and a normal diff is outputted to the window.

This does not happen for all files, and seems to work
for files that have changes but have not been checked
in when compared against the last checked in version.
It used to work fine, then today this behavior started
occuring.

Internal diff works fine.

I'm using 2.0.2.4 build 4.

    Can't reproduce - we need the exact pattern but it looks
    like perhaps something locally on your machine

    I've noticed if this happens and wincvs is in the hung state
    and I go into task manager and kill cvs.exe, that things
    proceed to work fine.

    Please specify type and version information about your
    CVS/CVSNT client and server binaries and consider retesting
    with a different build on either end to see if that fixes
    the problem. To me this sounds more like CVS/CVSNT issue
    rather than a WinCvs issue if the cvs.exe is hanging...
