Jeff, I think I've found why you are seeing this. cvs-edit.el requires
vc, which in turn, requires sendmail.
What I don't understand is why I *don't* see the problem. To test it
I did:
make distclean, autoloads, bindist
saved the last compilation buffer to a file
applied your patch
make distclean, autoloads, bindist
saved the last compilation buffer to another file
ran ediff on the two saved compilation outputs
The result was 25 differences between the two. That's the good news.
The bad news is that *all* of the 25 differences had zero effect on
the build. The differences were just extra lines like:
'Loading ./libs/mail-lib/auto-autoloads.elc'
Is there anyone else who is seeing the problem that Jeff describes
above?
