I'm guessing you have a broken `expr'.  Maybe one that can't handle long 
strings or maybe one that treats `$'s as special even when they aren't 
on the end of a string.  Did sanity.sh print any more warnings?  What 
happens if you run ccvs/contrib/debug_check_log from ccvs or ccvs/src?

What OS did you say you were using again?
