Martin, that problem seems to go away when I initialize $res to 0 in _fetchfile. I don't know perl, and maybe local variables are pre-initialized to empty. It's entirely possible that the fact that it now seems to work for me is purely timing-related, since I also ended up using "-P cvsps-output" to avoid having a huge cvsps binary in memory at the same time.
