It certainly could be a race condition. Just look at blast_mail(). It forks
off the operation, and it might run before the file arrives in the
repository. (??)

Or is it possible that the script looks for pep-0228.txt rather than getting
a copy from pep-0228.txt,v ?? My script does "cvs -Qn update -p -r1.1 FILE"
for new files, and pipes that to the output.

Note that the log_accum.pl script that I use for my CVS repository (which
came from Apache, which came from BSD) does not fork. It seems to work quite
fine with added files.

[ and the point in blast_mail() about holding the CVS lock too long is
  rather silly given the horsepower of the SourceForge boxes ]
