Thank you for the feedback on these anomalies.

It must cache this information somewhere. When I look at the files directly I do see reasonable differences between those versions. I think part of the above problems causing the above two problems is that the /tmp partition has been getting filled up on that system. I have been alerted to that a couple of times and have manually cleared the /tmp out. It has been getting filled up with rcsdiff temporary files such as these. root@vcs1:/cvsdata/web/www# du -shc /tmp/rcsdiff* | tail -n3 684K /tmp/rcsdiffzw3zbK 904K /tmp/rcsdiffzyRZSa 208M total My guess is that when things take too long and time out that the temporary file is left behind. > * Access to those diff pages is painfully slow, sometimes it just times > out. The system has been running a load average of 22+ rather solidly. It's just the new normal situation these days that everything is overwhelmed with Internet abuse. I'll be honest and say that I have been focusing my efforts on the git server which has been having this problem severely rather than this server. I'll try to balance the effort and see about helping this out out too. > Same as above seems to have happened today with these: > http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/prep/FTP?r1=1.992&r2=1.993 > http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/www/prep/ftp.html?r1=1.1093&r2=1.1094 There must be caching in action which has failed and cached these results. It's in the ViewVC path. I will see what I can do. Bob
