Ok, I just upgraded this Win2K Machine to cygwin 1.3.9 and all other
packets to the current version.
The cvs checkout STILL works. Ok, thats it! It is nearly the same
configuration as on the other machine, but there cvs fails.

I bothered some colleages, same test:
Linux 7.1 on Sparc64 - cvs works.
Linux 7.1 on x86 - cvs fails
BSD on x86 - cvs fails
Linux 7.3 on x86 - cvs fails.

I think this is no cygwin problem!

Volker
