No change.  I still couldn't check out as user sharkey.

On the assumption that something was wrong with my local account, I started
unsetting CVS related environment variables.  Eventually, I found one that
seemed to cause the problem.

I had CVS_SERVER set to "env LOGNAME=sharkey cvs" which is different than
the default of just "cvs".  This setting works with the CVS server I use for
work but the Source Forge server balks on it.  I think it must be a security
setting that they don't allow CVS accounts to access any executables other
than cvs.

I've had this variable set in my profile since 1996 at least, and I had
forgotten all about it.
