I can always try...

Hmmff! I tried to update my copy of the cvs tree and got this. Never 
seen that before :-(

$ cvs login
Logging in to 
:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:2401/cvsroot/boost
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from 
cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect 
(Connection refused)

Ahh well, I'll keep trying.

Incidentally, do you have any idea about what I'm doing wrong with 
match_partial

(Ok, I know that was sly ;-)
