I guess the quickest way to find out what's going on for me is to add some
TRACE statements in safe_location(). This should show me what it thinks is
the same as what...

I downloaded the sources for 41a, but it seems the directories openssl and
gssapi are missing -- at least it complains about it. The projects
sserver_protocol, gserver_protocol_ad and genkey don't build because of
that, and consequently cvsnt shows a linker error.

Does anybody know where I can find a description what I need to get it to
build?

I assume that after installing version 41a (with the standard installer), I
can just go ahead and replace cvs.exe on the server with my compiled
version, which should show me the additional traces in the client -- right?
Is stopping/starting the service enough for it to use the new cvs.exe?

Thanks,
