No. However, a number of people set watches over the entire project
(thousands of files), and this seems to have screwed up something. Three
weeks ago (exactly on the day I was leaving for my vacation), the server was
crashing like there was no tomorrow. I didn't know how to fix it then, so a
few days later, a collegue of mine delete the CVS directory (on the server)
n a few directories where the cvs server was crashing very often. That
solved most of the problems, but we still get crashes from time to time.
Questions:
1. What is the CVS dir used for on the server
2. Any (bad) side effects of the fact that we've removed a few
3. Can I delete all fileattr files to clean up the repository? I've tried
unwatch a number of time, but it does not work!!!

Excellent. Do you have any idea when cvs 1.10.9 is going to be released? I
also contains the file handle leak fix as well...
