Historically this has been a problem with CVSweb 2.0.x and Perl 5.8's 
stricter taint checks, but the -T flag was removed as of 2.0.6_1 and 
there have been no reports of this problem since July 2004.  When you 
run rlog manually, are you running it as the same user that runs CVSweb 
(and most likely Apache)?  Any chance you can try devel/cvsweb3 and see 
if you have the same problem?
