Indeed.  As of now (12:24PM), a stream of Ts is going across my screen, so
it is working.  (I bet that means everyone else is waiting for me now,
but it seems to be tagging several files per second, so hopefully it
won't be too long...)

Here are some examples:

cvs server: [09:08:08] waiting for sje's lock in /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc
cvs server: [09:15:39] waiting for anoncvs's lock in /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc
cvs server: [10:27:37] waiting for rth's lock in /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc
cvs server: [10:41:30] waiting for anoncvs's lock in /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc
cvs server: [10:45:01] waiting for rth's lock in /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc
