402174 - www.mozilla.org is not updating from CVS properly

Not sure when this happened, but sometime in the last day or two, www.mozilla.org has stopped updating/building from CVS. I committed a change to the VARIABLES file at 2007-11-01 16:31, and it still has not show up on the live site. Also, drol committed two changes to some start snippets at 2007-11-01 15:45 and 2007-11-01 18:05, and neither of the two changes have shown up yet.

Would appreciate it if somebody would look into this and figure out why the site isn't getting updated as it should be. If you have any questions about how the site builds (it's a mess of Perl code that few people dare to touch), feel free to ask, but I'm hoping it is as simple as some cronjob being accidentally turned off or something.

There was a stuck lock from Oct 27 04:18.  The CVS checkout process hung for some reason, and the process was still there, but stuck.  The error message from the cron job that tells us there's already a lock in place was commented out for some reason, so no cron mail was ever sent.  I've uncommented the error message so if it happens again in the future we'll get the mail.
