Hello,
searching the mailing-lists i found this reference:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2002-04/msg00405.html. Examining
the val-tags file on our CVS server is showing some files with just the "y"
in it and an empty tag. As mentioned in the mail, i just deleted the
val-tags file but the problem reappears.
Greetings, Jörg
