I have just tried to re-add all the files marked as "dead", and then
I  have made  a  commit.  Now,  the  files visible  in  the CVS  web
interface are consistent with the ones retrieved by a fresh checkout
--- so, the  problem seems  to have been  circumvented (at  least, I
hope so :-)

Anyway, if you think that there could be problems in the repository,
please let me know (I'd  prefer to erase and recreate the repository
now, rather  than to have problems  in the future,  while working on
it).

Regards, and thanks,
