pserver: cvs edit with a notify file, and cvs status fail

[Martin d'Anjou]

I have more problems after switching to pserver from NFS.

The notify file now looks like:
ALL echo error : %s is editing the file.

If a user attempts to cvs edit a file being edited by another user, the
system seem goes into a weird state and even a cvs status fails:

% cvs edit file1.txt 
user1 is editing the file.
cvs edit: dying gasps from server1 unexpected
% cvs unedit file1.txt 
user1 is editing the file.
cvs unedit: dying gasps from server1 unexpected
% cvs status
user1 is editing the file.
cvs status: dying gasps from guinness unexpected


Any idea why cvs status isn't returning what it should??

I can run cvs status in other directories
