The repository that cvsweb uses is the live repoman repository.

It looks like the log message for rev 1.4.2.1 wigs out cvsweb.
(In particular, it thinks the long line of equals signs marks
the end of the "cvs log" output.)

cvsweb parses the output of "cvs log", so when log messages are
indistinguishable from the output of "cvs log", there is no way for
cvsweb to tell which is which.

It's been on my todo list for nearly 10 years to make cvsweb
read the ,v directly to avoid this problem.
