[Bug?] patchutils: interdiff /dev/stdin ... doesn't work

Hi,
I tried running interdiff on standard input, following the example from
the interdiff manpage:
Reversing part of a patch (and ignoring the rest):
filterdiff -i file.c patchfile | \
interdiff /dev/stdin /dev/null
The command I used was
cvs diff -rHEAD | interdiff /dev/stdin /dev/null
and got a "/dev/stdin: No such file or directory" message from interdiff.
While I realize that there's no system-level support for /dev/stdin in
Cygwin (though bash does support it), using "-" didn't work either. Is
this a known limitation of patchutils?
Igor
