When I type `O' the attached single line > was inserted into the *cvs* buffer above the file listing: I was wrong, the update didn't fail. The error message led me to believe it had failed but the files were in fact updated. When I ran cvs-examine again just now, only a few files needed to be updated and the inserted command line was correspondingly brief. I guess I had never run cvs-examine with so many (all?) files needing to be updated (new arch tag or what?). So that is evidently what caused the error message: > Running cvs update ... > error in process sentinel: cvs-update-header: Invalid regexp: "Regular expression too big" > error in process sentinel: Invalid regexp: "Regular expression too big" Steve Berman
