No, an interactive fetch doesn't show it, but no need to pursue, it
turned out to be somekind of shadow problem arising from retaining a
default install of emacs (redhat rpm versioin 21.2) and installing a
cvs emacs in /usr/local.  Not sure of the details but removal of the
rpm packages has cured it.
