I'm running cvs on SunOS 5.5.1 and 5.6 (no idea if that difference is
significance)
On my 5.5.1 machine (cvs client, served by a repository on the 5.6 machine)
I get the following patch error, *sometimes*, when doing a "cvs update":
P load.c
patch: Invalid options.
patch: Usage: patch [-blNR] [-c|-e|-n] [-d dir] [-D define] [-i
patchfile]\
[-o outfile] [-p num] [-r rejectfile] [file]
cvs update: could not patch load.c; will refetch
cvs server: Updating old
cvs client: refetching unpatchable files
U load.c

Any ideas as to the cause? Or any way I can see what command line "patch"
is
actually being given? "patch" on both machines appears to take
the same set of command line options, so I don't know what the "Invalid
options"
are that it's complaining about.
thanks,
t
