<BR>
Very little is known. I don't think we should be so quick to assume a regression in cm3.<BR>
For example, cvsup only recently was ever made to work with non-userthreads.<BR>
And this version has seen extremely little use. Perhaps it never actually worked with non-user threads.<BR>
It previously depended on all threads surviving fork().<BR>
Bugs could easily be in cvsup itself.<BR>
As well, don't we know that Trestle has forever had several race conditions?<BR>
Having recently fixed a few?<BR>
<BR>
It's been my experience that the less something is used, the more bugs it has..<BR>
Modula-3 * cvsup + trestle...<BR>
