Folks, I've stared at this for a while now, and I'm out of good ideas, so if anyone has any idea how to debug this please let me know.

As of recently I can't do a full checkout of the Python sources anymore with MacCVS Pro on Mac OS 9. (distant rumbling and cursing of MacCVS Pro is heard) What happens is that the cvs server aborts with a signal 11 while trying to check out Doc/pyexpat.tex. Of course, if I try with a different CVS client the server happily checks the file out, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you. And I inspected the last few revisions of pyexpat.tex and there's no obvious changes that I can imagine would blow up a cvs server. I can get rid of MacCVS Pro and switch back to the much-more-pro-in-my-mind MacCVS (as it supports ssh nowadays, finally) but that'll be a hassle, so if anyone has any bright ideas please fire away!

I wonder if this could be the reason I'm currently seeing

cvs server: [15:36:32] waiting for jackjansen's lock in /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib cvs server: [15:37:02] waiting for jackjansen's lock in /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib cvs server: [15:37:32] waiting for jackjansen's lock in /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib

as I try and check a small change in to the library documentation? Looks like I'll have to try later.
