So I did this in the scr directory from the snapshot:
	 cat CVS/Root
and got:
	 :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src
Then I did this in another directory:
	 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co gdb
and got the normal ton of messages.
Then I did this: 
	find src -name vi.po
and got:
	src/bfd/po/vi.po
	src/opcodes/po/vi.po

So that particular snapshot (gdb-weekly-CVS-6.3.50.20050705.tar.bz2) is messed up, for whatever reason, and doesn't contain 'src/bfd/po/vi.po'.

Now the strange part:
'cvs update' does not pick up the 'new' file.  But if I edit CVS/Entries and add a fake line for the file, then do a cvs update, remove
the file, and do another cvs update, and presto!  I have the file.

So I'm changing my automation to just use 'cvs checkout' instead of an 'ftp' of a snapshot and a 'cvs update'.
