Do not do that.

Right.

I suspect someone has added a 'cvs watch' of some kind for the file OR
someone has done a 'cvs edit' for the file.
One of these commands should tell you who is messing with you:
cvs watchers filename
cvs editors filename
The way to change the mode of the file if watchers or editors are in
place is to use a
cvs edit filename
which may try to break the advisory lock for that revision.
Telling the user to do a 'cvs unedit filename' or
'cvs watch -a remove filename' should revert to the
behavior you expect.
Good luck,
