One person has reported a non-reproduceable CVSup failure on the
sparc64 platform which produced this message:
> ***
> *** runtime error:
> *** Value out of range
> *** file "/s/scratch/jdp/ezm3-1.1/libs/libm3/src/uid/Common/TimeStamp.m3", line
63

I am pretty sure this is a problem with the current thread switching
code in the Modula-3 runtime system. It could produce various
symptoms, including the above.
As a work-around until I fix the bug, you should add an extra argument
"@M3nopreemption" to the cvsup command line, like this:
cvsup -L 2 supfile @M3nopreemption
I'm fairly certain that will prevent the failures. Please let me know
if it doesn't.
John
