No, that wasn't the problem.  Why is it saying "updating" and printing
a U when there was nothing there before?

I removed the whole directory hierarchy and started again.  It still
said "Updating", but it didn't trip over these directories (there was
one other, but I didn't go through to the end of the hierarchy).  The
question is, have I done something the first time round that stopped
it from happening again?  I had a look in the repository
(/src/cvs/src/sys/gnu/i386/isa/), but nothing changed status round
that time.
