I've seen reports of such problems in the past, but have never been able
to track it down.  It seems difficult to reproduce.  It's interesting that
you link it to Windows, tho: I had not noted any such correlation yet.

Maybe you can try to track it down by adding to your .emacs something like:

   (add-hook 'cvs-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook 'debug nil t)))

hopefully it will not trigger in normal use.
