anonymous cvs does appear to have a stale lock.

On ethereal.zing.org, UID 50003 is Guy Harris! Earlier, Guy was
trying to run 'cvs update -d', but the directory I created via cvs
was owned by my group, not by the 'cvs' group. It looks like that
failed cvs update left something amiss.

But non-anonymous cvs is working. I'll hunt around a bit. Gerald? Are
you on-line?
