Thanks - I always forget OS...

I don't HAVE a ../src/text directory - it looks like an error in the
binary... BUT - I've figured it out.. *grin*

*heh* - well, it WAS intermittent.  Thought it was lack of drivespace
actually - because it would start working (before) if I freed up some
space.

But lately it hasn't worked at all:

System:
    Linux; glibc-2.0  (redhat-type system)
Fix:
    Download static version of cvsup

Likely bug:
    Too old CVSup.  Prolly last summer-ish.  whoops.

Sorry about the false alarm, folks.

G'day, eh? :)
