[m-dev.] Urgent: CVS unhappy again

[Ralph Becket]

I need to get hold of the icfp2001 source tree to work on it
from home.

[Until this is fixed, if somebody could just tgz up the whole
of that source tree and e-mail it to me at
ralphbecket at hotmail.com I'd be very grateful.]

I logged in to the CVS server without trouble, but any attempt
to  check out the project is met with a lock error:

~/mercury $ cvs co icfp2001
cvs server: Updating icfp2001
U icfp2001/attrs.m
cvs server: Updating icfp2001/html2sml
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml' 
(/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Trying again...

~/mercury $ cvs co icfp2001
cvs server: Updating icfp2001
cvs checkout: move away icfp2001/attrs.m; it is in the way
C icfp2001/attrs.m
cvs server: Updating icfp2001/html2sml
cvs server: failed to create lock directory in repository 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml': Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Trying even harder...~/mercury/icfp2001 $ cvs update
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating html2sml
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml' 
(/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/home/mercury1/repository/icfp2001/html2sml'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Help!
