cscvs seams promising... but I can't make it to work :-(

$ cscvs cache -b
cvs [log aborted]: received broken pipe signal
Set remote repository location to /imports/acer/home/CVS/pcsc-perl
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise error, "bad rlog parser, no cookie!"
Parser error: bad rlog parser, no cookie!
cvs [rlog aborted]: received broken pipe signal

The only information I found related to this "cookie" problem is [1] but
this was a problem with ViewCVS and I don't know how to adapt the
solution for my own problem.

I did not installed tla. I only use CVS for now.

Thanks,
