When I tried it using Emacs from CVS `C-x C-a C-n' worked but gud-tooltip-mode
gave an error when Emacs tried to display a source file.  I've corrected that
error now.

I suspect there's still comething wrong with your setup.  Since Emacs 22
includes Tramp, I don't know why you can't delete the version that you appear
to have downloaded seaparately and just compile Emacs 22.2 normally.  I think
this would solve the problem when stepping.  You would still need Emacs from
CVS for GUD tooltips to work, of course.
