Hm, I have the same setup, except Perl 5.8.1 and mod_perl 1.99_09.

Did the diff still appear correctly in the browser?

I cannot reproduce that.  Line 2238 in 2.9.1 contains
"openOutputFilter()", which should be a no-op unless you have
$output_filter defined in cvsweb.conf.  I couldn't reproduce the error
even when setting up a trivial output filter like

  $output_filter= '/usr/bin/tr "[a-zA-Z]" "_"';

Could you check if you have $output_filter set and if you need it, and
whether disabling it affects this?  I'll try to upgrade my mod_perl
soonish...
