When a SourceForge CVS lock goes stale you have to put in a request to 
SourceForge for them to clear the lock.

They are pretty prompt about fixing such problems, although it is past all 
understanding why they don't put some automated fix in place. Numerous 
project admins have asked for this in the past.
