[cvsnt] Audit failure when using 3055 client against 2260 server

[Bo Berglund]

I have updated my CVSNT client to 2.5.04.3055 (see other thread as to
why) and then I had to do some maintenance of code against a server
running 2.5.03.2260.
The strange thing is that all commands now fail as shown in the two
examples below:

cvs log -- modules
audit_trigger error (session): [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]String or binary data would be truncated.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL
Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.
Audit trigger initialiasation failed: 
cvs server: Pre-command check failed
***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

and

cvs ver
***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.04 (Zen) Build 3055
(Release Candidate 7) (client/server)
Server: audit_trigger error (session): [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][SQL Server]String or binary data would be
truncated.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement
has been terminated.
Audit trigger initialiasation failed: 
cvs server: Pre-command check failed

Notice that I have *only* changed the *client* side version (I cannot
touch the production server).

So I had to disable 3055 and revert back to 2382 on my side and then
all was back to normal.

Why is a client version change affecting the way the audit system is
handled on the server?????
Sounds crazy to me.
