I don't happen to know anything about the current problem, nor do I have
a node that I could get working in short order, but... do you think
that, for debugging purposes, either or both of the following could be
done?

* Having the snapshot generator tag CVS with the date of the snapshot,
right before it makes it, and/or

* Having the developers tag CVS with "build_NNN" whenever they decide to
release a new build ?

That should help mightily with debugging (cvs [r]diff -r build_493 -r
build_494), and also with time-travel (copy tree; cvs update -r
build_493 )

And for those who may not remember this particular annoyance: always run
'cvs tag' _after_ committing, as it knows nothing of your local copy
(silly silly silly).

Anyway, my $0.02.

Thanks
