Re: CVS checkout trouble

[Antenore Gatta]

Hi Victor and Welcome!

Yes, the problem you're reporting it's a now bug, but actually nobody
is interested to make a patch (since 2004!!!)

http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.cvs.bug/browse_thread/thread/d052f7f1243999e6/c499ef8eb4bd5ddb?lnk=st&q=cvs+%5Bcheckout+aborted%5D%3A+cannot++%3A+%22bad+address%22&rnum=8&hl=en#c499ef8eb4bd5ddb

I don't know if cygwin can help you.... Try it if you can.

Davi: In any case, if it's not too much expensive in time, it could be
better to rename the directories to permit to everyone to work.
I'm not using windows too but there are people that are obliged.
Is it possible by you?

Thanks in advance
BR
Antenore.
