Thanks for the report wrt WinCVS.  You seem to imply that WinCVS is using 
cygwin's openSSH?  Or does it use a non-cygwin build of openSSH?  (I have 
no idea if openSSH builds non-cygwin.)

disclaimer: I haven't tried the latest snapshot yet, where Chris fixed some 
signal problems.

I think making progress here is going to require building a debuggable ssh 
(and cvs?), possibly on the server side as well.  I'm not aware that anyone 
has done this yet, and that's IMHO why the bug hasn't yet been squashed. 
Don't expect the official cygwin crew to do it...it seems that it's not a 
high enough priority for them right now, which I agree with.  Note that 
this bug manifests itself only on win9x, not NT.  (Chuck, is that still 
accurate?)

I've been meaning to give it a shot, but I've been swamped as I've recently 
gotten married and transitioned from student to real-world employee.  After 
my house guests leave this weekend, I intend to get back to debugging this 
problem.  But please, feel free to beat me to the punch.
