Thanks.

I just created a small test case. I will send it to you via direct
email. This is what I did:

* Created new repo
* Created working directory
* Checked out repo
* Created a file and added it
* Modified the file (rev 2)
* Created a branch and switched to it (rev 3)
* Modified the file (rev 4)

Now I can successfully compare rev 4 and 3, but not 4 and 2, 4 and 1,
or 2 and 1. I do get the "changed files" dialog in every case; the
error doesn't show up until I actually try to view the changes to the file.

Thanks for your help on this (and for all of the work you to on TortoiseSVN)!
