Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello,
I had severe problems using pcl-cvs under woody over ssh: "Status" produces
garbled output. I.e., the output differs with each call, and cvs actions on this
garbled list can actually lead to very unwanted results ;).
It seems the problem is somewhat known, and that is it related to glibc. This
message of pcl-cvs's author gives some more explanation and a patch (the patch
works fine for me):
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2003-01/msg00733.html
The current version in unstable (21.2-6) is also affected, although it runs
with the new glibc (2.3.1).
MfG,
Stephan

hmm.
I have actually just retested this unpacking an old cvs backup (I have
no project using cvs any more) under lenny; seems to be gone for
good ;).
So I close this vintage bug now.
Thanks for the reminder,
Stephan
