In order to see what was happening on the server side, I experimented with an old CVS (version 1.11) setup I already had on a private machine.  I did some grepping and found reference to a CVS_SERVER_LOG environment variable, but that doesn't seem to be used any more.  It's not mentioned in the latest copy of the CVS manual and it doesn't seem to work.

There's a problem with cygwin ssh and SP2 - it's not a CVSNT problem. 
Try a googling for it... quite a bit of software broke.

Use the :ssh: protocol instead which is much easier to setup and takes 
cygwin out of the loop.

If you really must use cygwin, it's been reported that downgrading to 
cygwin 1.5.10-3 fixes the problem (ref:
