It looks normal to me..

The diff is produced entirely by the server, so if it isn't working it 
may be better posting this on a cvshome cvs list.  However it looks OK 
from what you've posted.

This means your local pwd.c is not modified, so the diff will produce no 
output.

..and this is exactly what you see.

This is a diff against a different revision, so you get different results.
