That is the same error we have received on several other plugins, that 
now show up as "nothing known about filename.ext" every time we run and 
update.  I attempted something different this time in order to try and 
fix it and I think I made it worse. 

I restored the old file name and tried to add the new one with it, but 
the new one still did not take.  The error remained the same.  I then 
tried to add a fake date and revision number to the repository.  CVS did 
not like this and stated CVS locks may need cleaning up.  Here is what 
happened when I committed with the fake date and revision number.

/mozdev/mycroft/www/plugins# cvs commit -m "Trying to fix nothing known 
about WorldNews.src error"
cvs commit: Examining .
? .directory
Terminated with fatal signal 11
Core dumped; preserving /tmp/cvs-serv71601 on server.
CVS locks may need cleaning up.

I then tried to do an update and CVS is locked.

/mozdev/mycroft/www/plugins# cvs update
? .directory
cvs server: Updating .

This should probably go to Pete.

Ricky, do you want to send this to Pete or is it alright for one of us 
to do it?
