RE: Core dump

[Thomson, Alisa]

I am using 1.11.19.  The command I tried is:
jefferson{thomson}111: cvs -t -n import -m "Initial import"
enegotiated/development fhlb v2
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/apps/cvs
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

Even though this is a development box, I do not have access to install
gdb.

I tried your suggestion below which is adding the directories to the
repository and it seemed to work for the files, but even after a commit
the files do not show up in the repository...only the directory names.

What version of cvs? Did you get a backtrace of the core dump? Was there
any assertion error message printed as the output?

Did you use 'cvs import -I ! module/path vendor vendortag' and also
happen to have a 'CVS' directory in the import list? If so, you might
want to use 'cvs import -I ! -I CVS module/path vendor vendortag'
instead.

Note that adding a new project need not be done via a 'cvs import'
command, you may also use something like

  cvs checkout -d top .
  cd top
  mkdir new-module-name
  cvs add new-module-name
  : and then add more files as you wish and commit them as normal

The above disclaimer is a bit silly when sent to an e-mail list.
You do not have rights to prohibit dissemination to a public list.
