Hmmm,
the things you wrote seem to imply that there is a src directory before
the failure (which isn't because I moved the one from the first
checkout). Or I didn't understand you. :)
The sequence of events is:
1) cvs checkout src <=== Successful
2) mv src src.old
3) cvs checkout src <=== Fails
We could reproduce the problem on a friend's machine as well. Both
systems were built in the last two days.
