Strange failure with CVS and diff

I've been trying to use the NT port of CVS 1.9.2 from ftp.cyclic.com,
with their port of RCS 5.7, and the GNU diff from Cygwin32 Beta 17.1.
I got a strange failure during a checkin: when RCS ran diff (with a
--rcs, I believe), some (all?) of the output came out on the TTY instead
of into the RCS file!! I've been unable to duplicate this by running
"diff --rcs" by hand, but can make this happen any time with "cvs
commit" on a modified file.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Or has anyone gotten this
combination to work? I don't have any trouble with the diff 2.7 port
that I downloaded from the same CVS site where I got CVS and RCS..
