	machine id a new Dell PowerEdge 840 with a Core2 Duo running at about 3GHz.
>Description:
	Asking CVSWeb for a colored side-by-side diff results in
	no page output at all: surmise crash.  Can't figure out how
	to debug something running in the web server cgi context,
	sorry.  Same configuration used to work fine on the old
	server, which was running FreeBSD-6.2-STABLE i386.  Possibility
	still exists that I've stuffed up the configuration, because
	I have also migrated from apache-1.x to apache22.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install cvsweb3, point it at cvs repository, point browser
	at web server, choose a log file, select one of the "colored"
	diff links and see a white page with no contents.

>Fix:

	I have worked-around the problem by switching from devel/cvsweb3
	(which uses enscript+states for colouring) to devel/cvsweb,
	which seems to do all the work in perl, and works.  I suspect
	that the real problem is in the enscript installation,
	rather than cvsweb3 itself, although enscript does seem to
	run OK when run from the command line.  I can't figure out
	exactly what arguments and inputs the cgi-script cvsweb is
	using, though, so this test can't be considered conclusive.
