ok, changing to the son of snapshot 5/24 did fix both these problems

somewhat interestingly, the cvs problem was *only* fixed if I mounted
/, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib in textmode rather than binmode - my home (and
hence my .cvspass file) are in /home/turner, which is texmode, but the
sandbox in question is in /usr/local - I don't understand the implications
of this, but it doesn't matter too much to me, since I'd rather stay with
textmode mounts anywat - but I thought I'd mention it

thanks,
