Yes, the problem is that some project are in private mode, and so
their CVS dir is not readable to everyone - and viewcvs instead of
ignoring them try to open them and finally die.

I would be happy if someone who is very familiar to python provide a
patch for viewcvs to make it ignore permission denied/directory
forbidden.
