Hi, (cross-posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
I'm using CVS 1.11.1p1 on NT 4.0 sp6a (CVS compiled from sources using cygwin). My CVS server is a Linux machine (also running 1.11.1p1). I had a module checked out ages ago and was working happily with it. Now I suddenly get the following error message: $ pwd ~/parapet/PPhead $ cvs -d parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -t status Makefile -> main loop with CVSROOT=parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -> Starting server: rsh parapet cvs server -> Sending file `Makefile' to server /#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for `/usr/local/cvsroot/parapet/PPhead 'vs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/local/cvsroot/parapet/PPhead cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up -> Lock_Cleanup() The jumbled up look of the error message is not an artefact of the mail software. It's really how it comes out. However, when I check out the module again somewhere else, everything works nicely. Even stranger, when I run cvs from in gdb, it works fine. I've tried to upgrade to cvs 1.11.2, but identical problems. Same problem when I use cygwin's cvs version that setup installs (didn't try to gdb trick there) Any ideas? Thanks!
