[Savannah-hackers-public] cvs fatal signal in texinfo

[Karl Berry]

I ran an apparently innocuous commit in texinfo (user karl) and got a
fatal signal (this was at Sun Jun 17 17:21:28 2007 PDT):

$ cvs com -m"implement default_country_for_lang with 
locales_with_principal_territory list from gettext's msginit.c" ChangeLog 
makeinfo/lang.c 
/sources/texinfo/texinfo/ChangeLog,v  <--  ChangeLog
Terminated with fatal signal 9

Now any attempt to do anything with texinfo gets the dreaded "waiting
for lock" message:
$ cvs update
cvs commit: [00:38:42] waiting for karl's lock in /sources/texinfo/texinfo

I gather cvs.sv.gnu.org is a different machine than sv.gnu.org.  I tried
to ssh as a variety of users (address@hidden, address@hidden, address@hidden) 
but
couldn't get in.

Help?

Thanks,
Karl
