Well, no, I haven't.  The perl is correct, it simply reads from STDIN. The
problem is unquestionably a cvs issue.  But since that's the attitude here's
the
shell code that also doesn't work.

----
  #!/bin/bash
  #
  #  test cvs loginfo system

  cat < /dev/stdin >> /home/cvsuser/logtest
----

after running a commit there is no data added to logtest.

Here's the python code that also fails:

----
  #!/usr/bin/python

  import sys

  line=sys.stdin.read()

  while line:
      sys.stdout.write(line)
      line=sys.stdin.read()

----

when redirected to the logtest file nothing ever shows up.

if you'd like i can also send the c, c++, and java code that fail to find
anything on STDIN when invoked from loginfo, or you can just tell me whether
or not i'm doing something wrong.

sheesh.
