>Description:
	After upgrading to current-20030726-063809 cvs hasn't been able to do
	"cvs update ..." or "cvs co ..." from netbsd repositories. Either
	cvs aborted the update due to it not being able to chdir to y (the directory name) or
	it incurred a SIGSEGV. When using the cvs sources from 20030724 the problem
	goes away and thus the changes from 20030725 come to mind as being the culprit.

>How-To-Repeat:
	upgrade to cvs from 20030726 (but keep a copy of the old sources or the old binary!) and try to
	go through an cvs update fon the netbsd source tree - watch cvs crash and burn...
>Fix:
	Workaround: go back to cvs as of 20030724
	or: fix the changes in 20030725
