I believe the last time I used CVS that was working was about two weeks ago.

I'm using CVS v1.11 on OpenVMS since it's the only available version for 
OpenVMS available.

When I run CVS with "-t" I the following at the VMS_BUILD.COM file...

S-> Reader_Lock(/home/freeciv/CVS/freeciv/vms)
S-> Lock_Cleanup()
S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries)
S-> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log)

And it just hangs there.  It dosen't matter if I use compression or not, I 
get the same result.
