I'm no php programmer (yet), so I'm not sure how to inspect the value of
$out[]... I did try and follow the code by entering:

cvs -n -l server >/tmp/chora.tmp

and then entering the $out[] array, a line at a time. I'm guessing that
$rev is something like:

    1.2

and $where is something like:

    CVSROOT/notify

So that the while loop reduces to:

    Directory CVSROOT
    /home/cvs/CVSROOT

I'm not sure how to close the server from the command line - a few
newlines seemed to do it, but then the screen filled with the following
line repeated 100's(?) of times:

cvs: buffer.c:1370: stdio_buffer_shutdown: Assertion `fstat ( fileno
(bc->fp), &s ) != -1' failed.

and then a seg fault.

chora.tmp contained:

E

E cvs server: dying gasps from client unexpected

Which starts off looking right...

I'm guessing chora has picked up the very first E only, and that the
errors at the end correspond the the newlines it took to close the
server on the command line?

As I said, this is running as my www user, and I can confirm that the
same file in annotate view gives the following error:

Unable to annotate; server said: E
