I thank you all for your help.  I still don't know what is happening.  But 
it doesn't look like a cygwin problem.

On my server (a new debian install with a plain vanilla cvs install from 
it's distribution) OpenSSHD

I can do a cvs login with a :pserver: cvs root (to the local subnet interface)
and do all CVS operation this way.

I can ssh login to any interface on the server from my wincvs box

If I
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:me AT address:/repository
export WINCVS=binmode

I do "cvs -t checkout module"
I then enter the password to ssh,
   ->cvs entering main loop (from trace)
then I get a cvs server "unexpected end of file"

None of the system logs are altered by this other tha auth.log which 
idicates a succesful ssh login.
