I had similar problems with earlier versions of CVS from the WinCVS
distribution.  Recent versions didn't have the problem.  This can also
probably also happen, if you use Cygwin with its "binary mount" option
or MSYS CVS tools (MSYS always uses "binary mounts").

So try updating to a current WinCVS version or switch to "textmode
mounts", when you are want to use Cygwin.


Hope this helps, benny
