Doug,
I found the issue with using CVSweb as the base path.  There is some old
code in to work around "thttpd stupidity".  This is tripping the redirect
code and causing the strange behavior.  Please try the attached patch to
cvsweb.cgi.  It should work with your current ScriptAlias line; if not,
try this one:
ScriptAliasMatch ^(.*) /path/to/cvsweb.cgi$1

I'll need to test with recent thttpd versions before rolling this into a
new release.

Regards,
-Jonathan
