corrupted CVS/Entries on checkout?

bonjour `a tous,

i have noticed that upon 'cvs checkout' the CVS/Entries file is not
properly created, leaving a trailing 'D' in the file, as it appears
to try to list the directories in the current directory (none
actually get included in the file).  interestingly CVS/Entries.Log
exists and contains 'A' (add) entries for the directories within.

for some reason, 'cvs update' will fix this problem by recreating a
proper list in CVS/Entries.  while it may seem like this is a non-
problem since there is a workaround, it is an indicator that some-
thing is going wrong with the server or client cvs.  that and LinCVS
won't work with it because the CVS/Entries are corrupted ;) (until
'cvs update').  i should note that the checkout is made manually and
not by LinCVS, since i brought it up...

the CVS/Entries.Log file no longer exists after the 'cvs update'. does
anyone have the remotest idea of what is going on here?


before 'cvs update':
