Weirdness.

[Reaching for copy of "Open Source Development with CVS"... or maybe
grepping the source code...]

What version of CVS?

Debian's boot-floppies team has a nasty weirdness going on with their
CVS server right now -- some binary files that have to be included in
the CVS tree, even when checked into CVS properly as binaries, cause
anonymous pserver downloads to abort and die.  Again SSH works.  Weird,
eh?
