The only thing I have seen is that the nightly testing for TRUNK on
"Power_Macintosh Darwin" has problems with the remotecheck and bombs out
during the checkout_repository-1 test. 

The check.log file contains something like the following:

PASS: toplevel2-cleanup-2
** expected: 
cvs \[checkout aborted\]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself
** or: 
cvs \[checkout aborted\]: absolute pathnames invalid for server (specified 
`/private/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot')
** got: 
? CVSROOT
absolute pathnames invalid for server (specified 
`/private/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot')
FAIL: checkout_repository-1


So, you see in this particular case, it has lost the

    "cvs [checkout aborted]: "

text as a prefix to the error message and gained a "? CVSROOT" line.


However, running the checkout_repository test in isolation or backing up
and running from the previous test (toplevel2) thru the end using a
command like:

 sh /path/to/sanity.sh -r -f toplevel2 `pwd`/cvs

to restart the tests with the test before checkout_repository and go
forward to the end finishes with no reported errors.

It really is very puzzling...
