Yes, but that refers to  Open Enterprise Linux 10.0 which I do NOT (want 
to) use.  It does not  comply with the standards of my laboratory. Sorry.

Well, your real breaking of CVS is described in my second mail. I would 
appreciate if you could get this fixed ASAP...

NO FT was really much more than a patch (~6 month of work for the two of

could not because your code massively broke CVS.
