Hi! I just tried to download the Openoffice sources with cvs running on cygwin (1.3.9, everything updatet, all binary mounts) / Windows 2K.
$export CVSROOT=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs" $cvs login ... Password: anoncvs $cvs checkout -r OpenOffice341C OpenOffice cvs: lock.c:177: lock_name: Assertion `(__extension__ (__builtin_constant_p ( strlen (CVSroot_directory)) && ((__builtin_constant_p (repository) && strlen (repository) < ((size_t) ( strlen (CVSroot_directory)))) || (__builtin_constant_p [stuff deleted] CVSroot_directory)))); }) : strncmp (repository, CVSroot_directory, strlen (CVSroot_directory)))) == 0' failed. Terminated with fatal signal 6 I write this to the cygwin list, because when I try the commands given above on a sun solaris machine everything is OK and cvs starts to download. But I realized that when I mistype the branch on the solaris machine, e.g. OpenOffice341c (a small c instead of a capital C) I get a similar fault. Is this cygwin related? Can anybody help? My apologies if this is off topic.
