CVS plus mathed78.diff is less stable (especially when it comes to
deletion in math arrays) than CVS. Moreover, there are some features
missing. On the positive side numbering and labels should work.

No. CVS will look at it as if it were your changes.

Actually, if you are serious on getting your paper done within two weeks
I'd suggest to check out a second CVS version (from January) in a seperate
directory and not to fiddle around with current CVS or my patches.

This will cost just disk space, but almost no time and you can keep your
up-to-date CVS version, too. 

I have virtually no spare time until the meeting in Bozen, so I won't be
able to help you (or anybody else for that matter) out. This will change
afgain in July and I think chances are good that we will see some stable
and fairly complete new mathed at the end of July. _Then_ every helping
hand for the Big Bug Hunt will be more than welcome.
