This happens to me too.

And a new problem popped up early this weekend (maybe Friday already):  when
I click the "Browse CVS Repository" link near the bottom right of

    http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470

IE5 pops up a box asking me whether I really want to download file "cvsweb".
Useless!  This used to work fine, and I sure haven't changed my IE setup.
Clearing the browser caches didn't help.  The link resolves to

    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi?cvsroot=python

today, and I don't know whether it resolved to something different last
week.  Also have no idea how browsers decide what to do -- it's not simple &
straightforward, like e.g. floating-point arithmetic <wink>.  .cgi is not an
extension registered on my machine either.
