OK, we have two separate problems here...

a) the file in question has been cvs-deleted, and is not in the Attic.  This url
works: 
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?command=DIFF&subdir=mozilla%2Fcmd%2Fxfe%2FAttic&file=forms.c&rev1=3.3&rev2=3.1&diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show

b) Bonsai shouldn't throw a 500 Internal Server Error when it can't find a file,
it should put up a usable error message that actually tells us what happened.

This is the right place for a) to get taken care of.  b) really belongs in
Webtools/Bonsai as a separate bug.

i'm pretty sure dave meant "the file in question has been cvs-deleted, and is
now in the Attic" instead of "not in the attic".

anyway, i filed bug 222939 for his issue b.

yes, you are correct, that was a typo :)

[Daniel Wang]

all links on the page work for me

Comment 5

re: comment #2, i meant to say that i filed bug 222976 about the defect in bonsai.

that defect has since been fixed and my guess is that the code made its way to
bonsai.mozilla.org, so the old broken query now works.
