I suspect you are correct.

I checked my older install of cygwin on another machine and found that it a=
lso has 1.12.13

I don't have problems with this copy and it is part of a cygwin install tha=
t has the same dll as the previous installation of cygwin on my other machi=
ne.

I am pursuing this with the CVS folks, but they are not very responsive (as=
 I would expect).

No.

Use setup.exe.  In the package chooser, go to the 'Up To Date' page.
Find cvs.  Click on the word 'keep' until it cycle around to the prev:
version, 1.11.22-1 (we've never had a cygwin port of '1.11.23').

While I'm not ruling out a problem with cygwin's current cvs package, I
tend to doubt it is the true culprit here.  I'd be interested in hearing
back (on this list) if cygwin-1.7.1 + cvs-1.11.22 actually fixes your
problem; I rather doubt it will.
