I just gave coda a try again after a long time, on NetBSD-current,
to check whether it is usable to access development sources on
a laptop. coda-5.3.20, with the newest lwp/rpc2/rvm.

Made the client cache big enough (300M), after I learned that a too
small cache causes rvm allocation errors later.

Copied a CVS-checked-out source tree into it. So far, so good.
Lots of "Reintegrate" messages, but it worked.

Now I tried a "cvs update" in the tree, and suddenly got an
error message: "cannot make directory CVS in .: File exists"
The "CVS" directory had turned into a symlink "@7f...".

There was no other client, so that shouldn't happen as I understand it...
Anyway, started "repair", tried both the "preservelocal" and
"discardlocal" commands, but in any case when I finished by "endrepair"
or "quit", the tool just hung, so had to ^C it. The CVS/{global,local}
dirs were still in the filesystem.
So I had to restart "venus" to be able to start over.
After some tries, the system got into a state where "venus" didn't
start anymore - see the appended console logs for details.

What is going on here - did I do something wrong or is that a bug?

best regards
Matthias
