Is the following fact perhaps the heart of the mystery?
 
When I type in the command that my debug output suggests is being
executed by the script, I get prompted for my password and thus the
checkout works:-
 
C:\helix\source>cvs -t -d
:ext:matthewjt at cvs.helixcommunity.org:/cvsroot/common
co build/BIF
-> main loop with
CVSROOT=:ext:matthewjt at cvs.helixcommunity.org:/cvsroot/common
-> safe_location( where=(null) )
 -> Starting server: ssh -l matthewjt cvs.helixcommunity.org cvs server
matthewjt at cvs.helixcommunity.org's password:
S-> my_module (build/BIF, Updating, , )
S-> safe_location( where=(null) )
S-> my_module (build/BIF, Updating, , )
S-> fopen(/cvsroot/common/CVSROOT/history,a)
S-> unlink_file(./CVS/Entries.Static)
-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Static)
cvs checkout: Updating build/BIF
S-> Reader_Lock(/cvsroot/common/build/BIF)
S-> Lock_Cleanup()
S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries)
S-> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Log)
 -> Lock_Cleanup()
-> Lock_Cleanup()
 
And yet - when running build.bat I don't get to the stage of being asked
a password. Mysterious! I wish I could break into the script to get a
callstack, but CTRL-BREAK just asks whether I want to terminate the
batch job and CTRL-C does nothing. What is going on???

Hi all,
          I've been trying to get the helix source for 3 week now, and
without success. I have put some tracing in the .py scripts and added
the -t flag for cvs calls, so I might at least know what is going on. It
looks like perhaps none of my CVS commands are actually doing anything.
See below. Any advice would be appreciated as I really have no idea what
to do - some people seem to have just been able to get the source
straight away!

In the DOS prompt it is almost the same. I can't get a callstack by
using CTRL-C.

PS I have changed the following code to turn off multithreading, but
that is not affecting the CVs situation.
 
def ChainGang(todo, num=default_concurrancy):
        if num>5: #mjt was > 1
            return ChainGang_threaded(todo, num)
        return ChainGang_nothreads(todo, num)
