btw The storable instances are bogus - fixing now
Ooops, they were in fact fine (I got confused over whether they should use byte offsets or element offsets).
But while killing my commit of the 'fixed' code I got myself in this state:
cvs server: [09:47:46] waiting for reid's lock in /home/cvs/root/hugs98/lib/extscvs server: [09:48:16] waiting for reid's lock in /home/cvs/root/hugs98/lib/extscvs server: [09:48:46] waiting for reid's lock in /home/cvs/root/hugs98/lib/extsKilled by signal 2.
I have no idea how to clean this up.
I assume you've probably fixed this by now. For future reference (and anyone else who runs into this problem): stale locks tend to be left around when CVS crashes, and have to be removed by hand by logging on to cvs.haskelll.org with SSH, and removing the appropriate lock file from /home/cvs/root/<wherever> which is usually called something beginning with '.#cvs' IIRC.
