Hmmm...I suppose this all means that I missed an open() or fopen() call 
somewhere in gdbm or cvs, and it needs to have the appropriate 
"O_BINARY" or "b" added.  However, I'm nervous about making that sort of 
change even if I DO find one -- wouldn't that mess up folks who are 
happily using cvs with local working dirs on textmode mounts?  Or is 
that a non-existent class of users, and everybody using cvs is also 
using binary mode mounts?

Can anybody who uses text mode local mounts birddog this for me?
