if a .cvsrc file exisits this problem occurs.
I fixed this problem by deleting that file. Maybe there was some error in the
file which was not resolved. Will attach that file for further investigation.

Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-02-02 16:43:59 UTC 
Yeah. That's why I couldn't reproduce it according to your instructions. P4
(normal) is appropriate I suppose.

Comment 7 Milos Kleint 2001-03-30 15:14:05 UTC 
One more remark..
This was a bug of mine. I was writing the messages for add and commit 
commands.. which is not correct.
Currently (release32 - build 15/ development build 156) this bug is fixed.
