... and today it triggered (on Windows; Emacs 22.1).  Here's the
backtrace (byte code stripped, lines wrapped):

*Messages* didn't show anything interesting:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Running cvs update ...
CVS process has completed in *cvs*
Loading debug...done
Entering debugger...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The *cvs* buffer looked as follows.  On the line "m.sh", I hit `A':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Repository : d:/Repository
Module     : foo/tools
Working dir: d:/work/foo/tools/

In directory .:
committed   * Up-To-Date  1.81        ChangeLog
              Modified                c.sh
            * Modified                m.sh
              Unknown                 u.sh.TEST

--------------------- End ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f update -d -P --
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Additionally, I noticed that the content of the ChangeLog file had
been erased (!!!) and content belonging to the *cvs* buffer has been
put in the ChangeLog buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

        * m.sh (Module, Usage): 

Repository : d:/Repository
Module     : foo/tools
Working dir: d:/work/foo/tools/

In directory .:
            * Modified                ChangeLog
              Modified                c.sh
            * Modified                m.sh
              Unknown                 u.sh.TEST

--------------------- End ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f update -d -P --

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have ChangeLog under VC so it was no big deal to restore it (and
probably) undo would have worked as well, but erasing data in such a
situation is a serious problem.

Bye, Reiner.
