There is no need to make any additional changes to cvs, nor to wait for
this bug to be fixed in the cvs distribution before adding cvs to latest
-- because the bug is NOT a cvs bug. It's a cygwin bug.  A fix (to
cygwin1.dll) has already been applied to the current development sources
of cygwin.

I'm not going to bastardize cvs by putting in a workaround to a cygwin
bug, when the cygwin bug is (a) already fixed, and (b) merely annoying
but not functional -- that is, cvs still works properly but prints out
annoying error messages as it goes.

When cygwin-1.1.5 is released these error messages should go away. And
please don't pester the core team for 1.1.5; you can try one of the
daily snapshots instead (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/snapshots/)
