I too have seen my CVS share stop working within the past two weeks.  I 
haven't had much time to work on it but I noticed a few things.  
Although I can create files on the share (touch foo) and delete them (rm 
foo) I get a 'permission denied' if I try to do a chmod 777 foo.

The share is on an XP-Home SP2 machine that has been working for many 
months.  I regularly download Cygwin updates so I'm never surprised by 
occasional gotchas.
