CVSup users:
Some recent very strange changes to the RCS files in
"/home/ncvs/src/bin/ed/test" have exposed a bug in the CVSup server.
If you've been trying to do checkout-mode updates of the src-bin
collection, and it's been failing mysteriously, that's probably the
cause of it.
I am working on a fix for the problem. Meanwhile, here is a way to work
around it:
1. Remove all the files in your "src/bin/ed/test" directory.
2. Run cvsup to fetch them again. It won't take very long, because
the files are small.
That works. The problem happens when you try to _update_ the files. If
you're checking them out from scratch, there's no problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience. A found bug is a fixed bug (almost).
