I know that this isn't directly related to the question under discussion,
but I use CVS on Win98 at home to connect to a remote CVS server and it
works fine for me except for the following problem:
When used with SSH, cvs command output happily appears, but after the cvs
command has completed, control isn't returned to the bash prompt. I have to
Ctrl-C to regain control. Not too much of an inconvenience, but I do have
to check that the cvs command has really finished by monitoring my network
connection.
SSH by itself seems fine, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. I'll try
to do some more investigation tonight.
