Tommy,

You'd get quicker answers if you reported things like this to
"cvsup-bugs@polstra.com". :-)

This problem should not be happening.  Something is wrong.  Please
contact me off the list at "jdp@polstra.com" and tell me:

    * Which version of CVSup you're using
    * Whether it's the static binary distribution, the port, or the
      package

and also send me a copy of your supfile.  I'll help you figure out
what's going on.
