diffs are "looping"

Since a couple of days output of do-diffs for one switch (catalyst 3550, (C3550-I9Q3L2-M), Version 12.1(12c)EA1) is "looping". That means evertime do-diffs is ran, I get exactly the same diff, which is like

Index: configs/sw101.de-cix.net
===================================================================
retrieving revision 1.21
diff -u -4 -r1.21 sw101.de-cix.net

Anyone seen this before? My first guess was that some file permissions were odd but everything looks fine.

Looking at the archive didn't show anything what could fit.

Thanks, Arnold

It is most likely that someone mucked with the CVS tree. check the
log files for cvs errors/notices and 'cvs status configs/sw101.de-cix.net'
should the "up-to-date" (or whatever the string is).

If it is not up-to-date, rm the file and cvs update.
