 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.
