Subject: cvs and NTFS streams do not play well together...

Hi, I am using Cygwin 1.5.5 and cvs 1.11.6 on top of Windows NT 5.1.2600 
SP1.  When I try to "cvs co" a file with a colon in its name, cvs gets 
horribly confused by NTFS streams and commits suicide.  The exact error 
message is as follows:  (note:  I was checking out the "src" module on 
the "HEAD" branch in the FreeBSD Project's CVS repository when this cropped 
up)

--snip--
cvs server: Updating src/usr.bin/window
U src/usr.bin/window/:tt
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot rename file .new.:tt to :tt: No such file or 
directory
--snip--

P.S.  The machine's drive is formatted as 1 NTFS partition.
