Wah.  That helps me zero.  I recognize his name of course, but I'm
running 150-200 e-mails a day here so the turn-over on problem
e-mails is pretty fast.  You'll have to describe the problem for me
to remember what it was.

Is it possible that CVS messed up one of the updates?  It's happened
to me on several occasions.  Sometimes CVS can't merge changes and
it gets confused, then it puts a couple of duplicate sections in the
file with division lines around them.  The easiest way to get out of
this mode is to delete the file and do another "cvs update".

If that's not the problem then please describe the error messages
you're seeing.
