most likely you have expect processes lingering that are connected with
this control_rancid. the actual problem could be a number of things.
if using linux, see the expect patch on www.shrubbery.net/rancid. else,
try following trail of child processes from the control_rancid.

its probably expect.

that's one i've never seen before! my guess would be that you ended up
with a stale lock in the cvs repository and it's waiting for the lock
to be freed. see the cvs manpage for info on it's lock files.

the other possibility is that it's waiting for input of some kind (which
i doubt), but you should be able to kill that process and it's output
should appear in that rancid group's log file.

I've deleted the following file dated Apr 6 within one of my CVS
directories...will find out during tomorrow's run if it fixed my problem...

-rw-r----- 1 rancid root 0 Apr 6 22:30 #cvs.rfl.kramer.28342
