These look ok to me, although they don't look like the access log
entries my Apache 2 generates.  Just to be sure and to eliminate any
browser issues: you did grab them from the access log, not the cvsweb
HTML, right?

When doing a diff, cvsweb should enter doDiff() near line 1320 or 1350
(the latter in your case, I guess, as the URLs have a ".diff"
extension).  Ditto, for annotate, it should enter doAnnotate() near line
1315.  Try placing some warn()'s above those to find out why it
(apparently) does not.

Right, it should have went to doDiff() earlier.
