You can thank 'AI' scrapers for that, they were killing the server by
requesting diffs between every version they could find, I imagine the
admin of the server was fairly annoyed with them when doing this.

It is not specific to any particular file, the diff part of cvsweb was
disabled completely. Either use a cvs checkout and the native commands,
or one of the git conversions.
