Strange.

This is what I use as well.  No problems here (well, not this kind of
problems anyway).

I always index all versions.  Could you try that as well, and see if
it makes a difference?

And readable for the webserver?

No, not really.  It's obvious that genxref never recurses down
directories like it's supposed to.  Which means that CVS.pm->getdir
somehow fails.  I haven't touched that part of CVS.pm, so I don't
think _I've_ broken it.  That doesn't mean it's not broken :)

Could you try to replace line 220 in CVS.pm with this:

	opendir($DIRH, $real) || die "opendir: $!";

And see if that changes anything when you run genxref?  If genxref
exits with an errormessage "opendir: ..." could you post it?

Thanks.
