Igor, Thanks for the help. SUCCESS!!! almost
I edited /CVS/Repository to remove the CRLF. The status command then produced status for a portion of the repository. I got an error trying to obtain a directory lock and status was aborted by the server, but I suspect this is similar to the other problem. If I dig deep enough, I'll probably find another file w/ CRLF in it.
