With that, I can probably get a clue about what's causing the problem. Also, please specify "-k" when you run cvsup, so that it will keep the bad file around to examine later. > Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing the problem? Maybe a problem with mmap(2). Maybe a corrupted filesystem. Maybe RAM or cache errors. Those are the things I've seen cause this sort of thing before. If you can capture one of the bad files for me, then I'll be able to make a better guess at what it really is. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
