I might want to, but don't send it to me yet.  First, a couple of
questions:  Which version of CVSup are you using?  (Output of "cvsup
-v" please.)  Which distribution of it did you install?  (Static
binary, installed the package, built the port.)  Also, please send me
the supfile that you're using.

Thanks,
John
