right, I think I have a partial reason for why I couldn't co

I tried it on a few machines running derivatives of the same OS
before it struck me to use a different OS, co no problem, it hadn't 
occurred to me because
I had been able to co from the other machines from another foss 
repository.

Out of interest the OS I had problems with were all Darwin 7 
derivatives, and
the one that worked was OpenBSD 3.5. I don't know if this is a cvs 
related issue.

I will look into it.
