Oh, I see.  Sorry for my misunderstanding.

This has hopefully been fixed by Alan.

Looking at the CVS documentation, I found a way to fix this problem forever.
I added the following to the CVSROOT/cvswrappers file:

    cglobe.map    -k 'b'
    globe.map     -k 'b'
    plstnd5.fnt   -k 'b'
    plxtnd5.fnt   -k 'b'
    usaglobe.map  -k 'b'
    usa.map       -k 'b'

This change has not been tested, but should be okay.
