Kris,

It looks like your Cygwin cvs sends a carriage return as part of the
directory name.  Seems to me that your CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files
are opened in text mode.  See if you've changed the mount structure (i.e.
mounted something in binary mode that was previously mounted as text).

Also, since you've compiled cvs yourself, did you link it against
automode.o?  You may need to relink cvs to get it working.
