Check the NEWS file of the most recent version (1.11.21) to seeif your bug has already been addressed.
Hmm... It took some while to find it but I looked here:http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/NEWS? rev=1.116.2.142&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
And I don't think the error is listed.... The problem is that if I create a file (which I don't tell CVS about) and accidentally try to "cvs admin" it (to change it from binary -> text file), then I get this:
Terminated with fatal signal 11
And it leaves a some lock-files / lock-directories... I found out because I used tortoiseCVS to add some ".dat" files which in fact were ASCII-files... So I had to do a "cvs admin *.dat" - but then there was a new file which I forgot and which CVS didn't knew anything about...
I really think it's a bug - I mean - there's simply no reason to be so rude and terminate just like that. Instead if it were more polite, it would just have written: "new_file.dat <- unknown file: do a cvs add on it - exiting program and cleaning up lock-files now" or whatever.... And it should definately clean up those lock-files/lock- dir's when it exits so I don't have to write mails to the server- administrators who seem to have lots of other things to do also...
Is this a bug I should report?BTW: Please respond directly with a CC to me, as I just wanted to be polite and report this bug so it could be fixed if it hasn't already been - and that's all. I guess you probably also have a web-interface (web forum) somewhere but I don't know where it is....
