I wonder if this could be the reason I'm currently seeing

cvs server: [15:36:32] waiting for jackjansen's lock in
/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
cvs server: [15:37:02] waiting for jackjansen's lock in
/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
cvs server: [15:37:32] waiting for jackjansen's lock in
/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib

as I try and check a small change in to the library documentation? Looks
like I'll have to try later.
