[M3devel] cvsup crash

[hendrik at topoi.pooq.com]

Is this a known problem?  From the mentions of cvsup on this list a few 
months ago I suspect it might be.  But I'm mentioning it in case it's 
not known.

I installed cm3 from the cm3-LINUXLIBC6-REL.deb I downloaded on Sept 5.
I than ran cvsup to update my copy of the Modula 3 CVS that I acquired 
some months ago.  This time I did specify the 'cvsroot' option I had 
forgotten that time.

But this time, cvsup crashed:

hendrik at lovesong:~/newcm3/trywholecvs$ cvsup cvsupfile-cm3


***
*** runtime error:
***    An array subscript was out of range.
***    file "../src/vbt/VBTRep.m3", line 644

Just in case it's relevant, my cvsupfile-cm3 file:

#

then
# run it as follows:
#
#	cvsup -g -L 2 cvsupfile.cm3
