The problem in that version as I recall was that the stored diff was 
bad.  Upgrading the version won't compensate -- they are still bad 
versions.

Fortunately, being generated files (and from a 3rd party), you should be 
able to regenerate that portion of your tree.

It is extraordinarily rare for a bad buggy version (like that one) to 
get released as stable, but it can happen.  If you're using the OSS 
version of CVSNT, you really need to watch the list and keep up on 
current issues.
