That could be what happened, everyone was in a hurry to get the code 
done on time and it is possible that something like this happened.  I 
believe that they may have maintained a separate tree and then copied
over the files into the CVS tree or something strange like that.  I 
just want to make sure that it isn't CVS doing something wrong.  (Which 
I believe it isn't).
