That's okay, I just need log messages or, well, anything that you can
manage to say about the reproducibility of the problem.  What the server
was doing, what happened around the same time, etc.

If you have CVSup, you can actually grab a copy of the repository and use
cvs diff, but that's okay, I can dig that out.

This is an *excellent* report, thank you!  From this report, I can confirm
that what you're running into is the same thing that was causing other
people to report errors writing overview.  I have a patch for this (the
one that I sent to the list yesterday), but an attempt to get Kerberos
authentication to the CVS repository working has left me temporarily
without a way to commit things.  I'll get this committed as soon as that
is fixed.  (Jeff, or anyone else with commit access, if it works for you,
could you commit that patch that I sent yesterday to both STABLE and
CURRENT?)

BTW, thank you very much for the snapshot testing; I really do appreciate
it.
