[cvsnt] File Locking problems on CVSNT 2.5.01

[Roman Rozinov]

I have Installed CVSNT 2.5.01 Build 1976 on Windows XP SP2 with no
firewall using a default installation options.  Using the web guide at
http://cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips as my reference,  I have created
the folder D:\CVS as my repository through the CVSNT control panels.
Then, I have opened a command-line shell,  and set the CVSROOT to a
local path D:\CVS, and my current path at C:\temp.  I performed "CVS co
CVSROOT" which executed successfully.  Then, I have tried to update the
repository after editing file cvswrappers, and I get the following error
"cvs [update aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on /.directory_history,v:
FAIL Lock not within repository".  I have verified that Locking Server
Service is running through the control panel.
Is this a known issue?  I am not sure how to proceed. I've not modified
any other options.

Thanks,
