Yes, I executed <path-to-cvs>/cvs directly (and did a cvs --version to be sure). Anyway, I found out this not to be optimal, as CVS seems to try to run exactly <path-to-cvs>/cvs on the server, which cannot be found or, even worse, might be something different (as in my case). At least, my crash has gone after I put the new path into the PATH environment variable. Thanks, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
