That jakarta-tomcat thing is going to be the death of me. :-( The "checksum mismatch ..." message is a "should not happen" kind of scenario. It only happens if (a) somebody manually dinked around with the repository files [this case], or (b) somebody manually dinked around with the local files in a very devious way without changing the timestamp, or (c) some internal CVSup error happened. I am not aware of any occurrances of (c) for several years. Anyway, by the time it detects the checksum mismatch, the best it can do is make a note to fix things up at the end. If you kill it (or it dies) before then, the offending file will be unchanged on your machine (i.e., your original version before the update run) and the checksum mismatch will happen again next time.
