No, I hadn't; I have an extremely rudimentary knowledge of cvs.  I've just
looked up "-A" for update: "Reset any sticky tags, dates, or -k options".
I am not aware of having used any sticky tags, but okay...  Yup, it
pulls in a version with the right data!

Thanks.

Must make a point of learning more about branches and cvs...

This is a bit of an important problem for us Canadian NetBSD users,
though.  I can't possibly be the only one who had not figured out how
to fix it "properly" (within the NetBSD-designed system).  I'm not
sure what to suggest as a way to tell us all what to do - a security
advisory seems like overkill - but you must be being pelted with
problem reports about this today, no?

Anyway, thanks again for helping!

Next time I need a particularly recent file, I'll try "cvs update -A"
before reporting a problem.

Anne.
