The bug in "cvs diff -N" does not only appear when a new file is 
added but yet uncommited; it does not work either, when the file 
where not present at the time the previous tag was applied.
That is:
  - create a file, add, commit, tag with V_1
  - create another file, add, commit
  - try to list differences between current state and V_1:

 >cvs -q diff -N -rV_1
Index: goodbye.txt
===================================================================
RCS file: goodbye.txt
diff -N goodbye.txt
cvs [diff aborted]: Cannot use reserved filename 'nul' on NT based machines
