I tried several things in misc.c:mkdirhier() at the time, such as
resetting the value of errno just prior to the call to
access(), artificially setting it, and I'm somewhat sure I
tried that saving it at the time, without success. I can't be completely
sure because I simply switched back to cvsup after a few hours of
fiddling, before ultimately reverting back to non-versioned libraries.
