That's been reported before. There's a bug in the cleanup code that causes it to go into an infinite loop: the assertion failure ends up calling the cleanup code which causes the assertion failure again. I've checked in a fix. > I cannot reproduce this bug over ssh (OpenSSH_3.4p1) - cvs terminates on > Ctrl-C.

It's a simple infinite loop, not a buffer overflow or anything that's exploitable. -Larry Jones You're just trying to get RID of me, aren't you? -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
