>Description:
    The cvs "ls" and "rls" commands fail with filename arguments.
    Here is the failure message:

        termite:bin> cvs ls highlight
        ls.c:400: failed assertion `p'
        cvs [ls aborted]: received abort signal

    The failure only occurs when supplying filenames as arguments,
    directory names work as advertised. The failure mode is identical
    for clients on Linux, Solaris, and XP.  I have tried a number of
    option combinations, but cannot stop the failure.

>How-To-Repeat:
    It consistantly fails whenever filenames are used as arguments
    cvs ls <filename>
>Fix:  Sorry - I wish I knew.
