RE: strange "it is in the way" message

[Lars Huttar]

Thanks for your thoughts Derek...

That makes sense, except that the problem continues to occur
even when I completely remove all the files and folders
under CVS control (including "CVS/*") and start from scratch, using
only one client.
I tried switching clients only because the problem was occurring.

Regards,
Lars
