I was thinking maybe a particular bit in ($? & ff)
was a "control-c flag" bit.

That was the problem. I cut and paste the code exactly
and didn't take a minute to look at it.
The elsif($?>>8) part should warn, not die.
I didn't notice the error message said "exited" rather than "killed"
and thought it was a signal from cvs-update, rather than an error
exit code.
The script takes about 20 minutes to run,
and in a panic, I sent the email saying it didn't work.
It works. I just needed to warn instead of die on non-zero exit codes.
The script is running now. And I think it's past the point where it
died before.
so, all is well, with the exception of slight brain fry on my part.
