There used to be a patch available at cvshome to fix a similar problem in
the modules file.  I cannot remember the exact details, but we installed the
patch.  AFAIK it has not been incorporated into the main CVS tree.  Sorry I
can't give you any more details, but I'm out of the office, visiting sales
offices in the Americas, so can't get at our CVS repository to give you more
details.
