It looks like the fix which CollabNet performed overnight is working.
Terena and others have verified that builds are now succeeding. So
barring some unexpected relapse, we will NOT need to switch over to a
backup CVS server.

Jim, we appreciate the work that you and others at CollabNet put into
getting this fixed. Also, a big thanks to everyone in the GlassFish
community for their patience and help in providing error reports which
were used to diagnose the issue.
