I haven't been able to CVSup in a bit... I keep getting

runtime error:
	Attempt to dereference NIL
	file "../src/text/Text.m3", line 58

Anyone have any ideas?  This has been happening since January and
intermittently before since the beginning of November (IIRC).

I've been downloading the source by FTP but I miss this...

G'day, eh? :)

	Have you tried removing the ../src/text directory?  What version
of CVSup?  Operating system?

Thanks - I always forget OS...

I don't HAVE a ../src/text directory - it looks like an error in the
binary... BUT - I've figured it out.. *grin*

*heh* - well, it WAS intermittent.  Thought it was lack of drivespace
actually - because it would start working (before) if I freed up some
space.

But lately it hasn't worked at all:

System:
	Linux; glibc-2.0  (redhat-type system)
Fix:
	Download static version of cvsup

Likely bug:
	Too old CVSup.  Prolly last summer-ish.  whoops.

Sorry about the false alarm, folks.

G'day, eh? :)

PS: now to check that ODBC driver again... *sigh*...
