git-cvsserver wart?

["Cameron McBride" <cameron.mcbride@gmail.com>]

I'm a new git user, so if I'm doing something boneheaed - sharp kicks
are welcome.

For reasons I won't go into, the ability to use cvs clients is darn
near crucial.  Although most development is local (where I install /
use git), pulling down the latest updates and pushing up minor changes
via CVS is helpful at remote locations where I don't want to maintain
clients.  Git with git-cvsserver makes this very nice.   Thanks to
all!

Now, the problem I ran into:

code/ntropy> cvs up
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
/usr/local/bin/git-cvsserver line 761.
closing dbh with active statement handles
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
code/ntropy> cvs -v
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

Doing a 'cvs up -dP' (or either of the two individually) seems to work fine.

so, it's an old client, a newer client doesn't have this problem.  a
bare 'cvs up' works fine on:
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)

Just to be clear, it appears everything gets updated with the
workaround - but there might be something else amiss, so I thought it
was worth mentioning.

p.s.  I'm assuming the following statement is harmless (it's always present):
