Thanks.

There's more ViewVC instances going wild these days (It can get stuck
on some particular files, though I don't know which ones. This is part
of why we reject web crawlers in /viewvc/*). When that happens, this
may lead to stale locks. After killing stalled viewvc.cgi's and
removing nobody's locks in project emacs, deego could finish his
commit correctly (and so did you).

We may need to switch to another CVS browser if this kind of issues
happens too often :/
