error in config file?

[Gwen Park]

Hi,

One of my cvs repositories gives me this error whenever I attempt to
do anything (such as updating a remote working copy):

' is missing '='ax error in /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config: line '

However, the config file has not been modified! Just to be sure I
copied a known good copy from another repository to the CVSROOT
directory on the server and the problem still occurs.

Does anyone have any ideas why this happens and how I can fix this?
This isn't really a functional error, but it IS annoying to see it
all the time. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you.
