A better fix is to eliminate the "upperVettingLimit =" clauses in both
branches of the ternary operator (I don't know why they were there at

It had to do with the user "visad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" not using the

for user "visad", server CVS seems to work now (I used it to commit the
above change).
Please let me know if you encounter any other problems.
