Subject: file lock issue with cygwin 1.5.10-3, cvs 1.1.6-3

I have the latest and greatest Cygwin packages installed on two different
machines and noticed the following problem on both using CVS:

CVS fails to create a read lock when trying to check out or update from a
repository on the local network.  If I revert to cygwin 1.5.9-1, CVS again
works correctly.  Maybe this a file lock issue with the latest cygwin, or
perhaps CVS needs rebuilt for the new DLL?  Also, there is nothing funny
with permissions and the CYGWIN envar is currently unset.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
$ export CVSROOT=/cygdrive/G/code
$ cvs co www
cvs checkout: Updating www
cvs checkout: cannot create read lock in repository `/cygdrive/G/code/www':
No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
