Hmmm...

Is this the thread? 
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2004-December/016478.html

I think that this boiled down to a CYGWIN issue (the thread looks like it 
dies without resolution in pipermail). 

Maybe it's this?
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2004-November/015950.html

This thread seemed to die as well with nothing conclusive.

I am experiencing the same problem as Christopher, and now that Jim has 
said this, I am slogging through the archives trying to find the 
reference. 

Anyone else know?


Thanks.
