Chuck, thanks.

OK, I was able to get them.  The "Function not implemented" occurs in
this version, too.  It was worth a try.

While I did convince myself that the error was something that could be
ignored (by looking at the sources), I'd feel better if it wasn't
there.  Here's to hoping that when cvs is included in the main
distribution sourceware, that this problem is fixed.
