Doh, I'm sorry, I forgot you have to use a later version from cvs.  This
should get you the proper one:

 cvs -d anoncvs@leak.cs.utah.edu:/cvs checkout -D  "July 1, 2001" jnodeos

Just getting something to work on jnodeos and ANTS should keep you
occupied for awhile, so I wouldn't worry about performance.  And it should
be quite a bit easier to debug on a regular OS than running on a bare
machine (this is how we develop most of it).
