It's working for me -- I compile a new copy off my own source
tree pretty much daily, and when I did the snapshot release
I pulled a new tree from CVS and built from that -- which also
worked fine.

It definitely looks like you've got some old code in your
working copy.  Possible explanations include CVS throwing
a wobbly (not unheard of...), or some tags getting into your
working copy (which might also have been done by CVS without
you telling it).  Easiest way out of the situation is probably
to just pull a new working copy from CVS and start again.  But
if you're interested, you could try poking around at some of
the affected files with `cvs status`, and compare the results
with WebCVS.

Thinking back, I remember someone having very similar problems
a few months back -- also fixed by pulling a new working copy.
Let's just put it down the CVS flakiness, and look forward to
the day when we're ready to deploy Subversion instead.

   Thomas.
