My memory fails me but I believe this bug is a result of ci having the previous
xx.yy,v file open as it tries to copy the temporary version on top of it. 
Can't do that with the M$ filesystems.  To fix this you would have to make sure
that the fd that hold the xx.yy,v file open is closed before copying the
temporary file to the delta save file.

I may be wrong but I think that is the problem.

BTW, the latest version of CVS compiles OOB with one minor build problem (don't
ask me what it is, I don't remember) and works.
