Did you mean to send this to me directly? Tech support mails like this should go to the list, though cc'ing to individuals is okay, but a message sent only to one list member isn't as likely to produce answers. In this case, I can only offer a partial answer, but I'd like an explanation too.

For lack of a better idea I ended up reinstalling the Fink-provided version of cvs, even though it was definitely already available in /sw/bin. I have no idea why the file didn't work, but rebuilding made the problem go away. Maybe someone else can offer an explanation as to why this is happening? -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
