Doh! Thanks for the quick response. When installing the package
from the stable snapshot server, I noticed there were two packages,
cvsup-16.1_1.tgz (dated 6/22) and cvsup-16.1c.tgz (dated 8/13). I
installed the cvsup-16.1c.tgz package because of the later date, if
this is not the correct one, please let me know..

I'd be happy to help reproduce/debug this, send me email directly
with any suggestions about stuff I can do/try that would help partition
the problem..
FWIW, I use cvsup _all_ the time, and have very much appreciated
your efforts over the years both in authoring the utility and
maintaining it. Thanks!!
