It's not clear to me. There's no file access on line 82 of this script !

My guess is that this script is victim of its dirtiness : it forgets a 
bunch of temp files behind, and PIDs wrap around 32768 quite fast on 
subversions. For instance this #webcvs.lastdir.27272 belongs to 'loic' 
(not 'jas'), and the only way it can happen is that it's a stale file 
from a previous commit using this PID.

$ cd /var/run/log_accum
$ ls|wc -l
  16566
$ find . -not -atime 1|wc -l
  16333

In other words, 16,300+ files are more than 24h old. I'll see if I can 
fix this in commit_prep, otherwise I'll had a sweeper function in the 
nurse_cvs script.
