Thanks for the reply Andy!
Yes, I have asked the ViewVC users group also, but haven't gotten any responses there.
After further testing today, we've determined that it's a file size issue. Anything over ~2mb won't open correctly, for all file types.
Also, I had checked the mime-types, they are all mostly defaulting to application/octet-stream.
Is that bad???
Do I need to properly point subversion's config to it's own mime types file?
Thanks again!

I think you'd be better off asking on the ViewCVS mailing list or
support forum. Sounds like you've already confirmed that Subversion is
handling everything just fine.
Have you set the svn:mime-type appropriately on these files? If only
on some, do the files that work correctly have it set, and those which
don't have it set don't work?
