I also fixed this loop bug (and its really in the system's sigismember
macro) but there is more wrong with it than this. There is a fixed
version of cvs and an updated version of rcs available by anonymous
ftp from bsd.coe.montana.edu.
I had one problem with the updated with the updated rcs. The version
of expr that came with 386bsd does not grok parenthesis. I worked
around it by changing a line in conf.sh that looked something like
(I am working from memory, the files are at home):
M1=`eval '(' $l + $p ')' / 2
to two lines like:
MT=`eval $l + $p`
M1=`eval $MT / 2`
Just edit the file and search for 'eval ' and you will find it.
I am now shopping for a fixed eval. Anyone know where I can find one?
