2008-05-29 10:54 AEST by Arthur Barrett - When I 'cvs tag' using 'ext' on rhelv4 linux a file from 2.5.03 (2008) client 
to 2.5.04 (write through proxy on debian) I get 'select: Bad file descriptor' 
after the client and server have both stopped and the '$' prompt appears.  
Looks like either the server or client are having a hard time exiting.  I 
did 'strace cvs -ttt tag' and here is the last few lines:

close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0x1f0000, 4096)                  = 0
time(NULL)                              = 1212022173
write(2, "10:49:33:   -> ", 1510:49:33:   -> )         = 15
write(2, "free_directory()\n", 17free_directory()
)      = 17
time(NULL)                              = 1212022173
write(2, "10:49:33:   -> ", 1510:49:33:   -> )         = 15
write(2, "free_modules2() directory_stack_"..., 61free_modules2() 
directory_stack_size and rubbish set to zero
) = 61
munmap(0xd67000, 4096)                  = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?

So may be it is the server and is related to bug5283 or even bug4958.  Need to 
check their status in the 2.5.04 code.
