Oh.  That.  Totally forgot about that.  Sorry.

I've had no blinding flashes of insight, either.  I *do* know that it's 
not blindly adding a "." to the end of the tempdir in order to defeat 
some name-hiding thing in cygwin.  Here's the actually command list 
being sent back-n-forth (by inserting printfs in the command loop):

*** up here server_temp_dir=/tmp/cvs-serv2116 ***
*** and /tmp/cvs-serv2116 DOES get created    ***

*** down here we try to mkdir_p /tmp/cvs-serv2116/. ***

I believe it is because the "Directory" value is being appended to 
server_temp_dir, which would be fine if Directory were anything but '.' 
  Basically we just need to check if Directory = '.' and skip the 
dir-creation step.  But I don't know where that's happening.

I don't have a similar level of debug output from a (working) 1.11.17 
build -- that's as far as I've gotten.

PTC.
