I've done some more experiments on a local repository regarding my zombie process problem. It appears that cvs (2.0.51d) is crashing whenever I perform a "cvs status -v" on a path containing more than one "../". If the path contains 3 "../"s (e.g. "cvs status -v ../../../000/blah/junk/file.bin"), then I get the "Do you want a crashdump" dialog. If the path contains 2 "../"s (e.g. "cvs status -v ../../000/blah/junk/file.bin"), then I get the same dialog, but also this message on the command line: cvs [server aborted]: cannot mkdir C:\Program Files\cvsnt\Temp/cvs-serv3712/##CVSDUMMY/##CV*/../../000/blah/junk: Invalid argument (The '*' in the above path actually appears as the 'Club' playing card symbol. I replaced it with a '*' because I'm not sure the email transport will let the real character through intact.) Any use to you Tony? Regards Pat Galea -- Pat Galea pat.galea at acm.org
