FYI: CVS Import Bug - Please Respond

[Oproescu Bogdan (KTXA 3)]

   Hello bug-cvs mailing list, 

   We still have the problem that I described below on July 29, and namely 
   the corrupted CVS Files that result for our parallel CVS Imports into the 
   SAME Module and Repository pair on our CVS Central Server. 

   Please read this message below and let us know if you can resolve 
   this CVS Bug and also send us an estimate of the effort and length 
   of time required to solve this. 

   Important: I have also reproduced the error below ( both Type 1 and 2 ) 
   using a similar setup, but this time a CVS Import that runs in parallel with 
   a CVS Tag and Untag ( ie. "cvs tag SampleTag TestModule" and 
   "cvs tag -d SampleTag TestModule" pair ). The SAME Error below 
   appears after a few iterations of the CVS Import and CVS Tag Commands. 
   Please also consider this error and let me know if it is related to the 
first one. 
   Can it be because "cvs import" is not atomic, and therefore a parallel "cvs 
tag" 
   on the SAME Module & Repository pair acts equivalently to 2 parallel cvs 
imports? 
   Will the solution to the first error above be the same as for the second 
error also? 

   Please respond asap as this issue is very urgent for us. 

   Thanks in advance for your quick response, Bogdan
