cvs+ssh (client on Win98) hangs when finished

[David Starks-Browning]

Greetings,

I'm using cygwin snapshot 20010914 on win98 (so that ssh-agent+ssh-add
work).

CVS (the latest cygwin package) appears to hang after completion, but
only when used with ssh.

If I check out Cygwin from anonymous CVS, it works fine.  This entails
login to ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src" with password
"anoncvs".

But if I use ssh to authenticate to the secure CVS server at
":ext:you-know-who@you-know-where.cygnus.com:/cvs/src/", then it seems
to do everything properly, except at the end, where it "hangs"
indefinitely.  Eventually I interrupt it with ^C:

> ...
> cvs server: Updating winsup/w32api
> cvs server: Updating winsup/w32api/include
> cvs server: Updating winsup/w32api/lib
> Killed by signal 2.
> cvs [update aborted]: received interrupt signal

This happens for checkout and update.  (I don't dare attempt a commit
unless I'm sure it's working properly!)

I get the same behaviour regardless of whether I use ssh-agent to
authenticate.

I can't tell you whether this has ever worked for me.  I think I had
the same problem in cygwin 1.3.2 also.

Currently I have to boot into Linux solely for Cygwin FAQ
maintainance, which is a bit disruptive.  It would be perfect if I
could do everything from Win98!

Attached below is cygcheck -s -r -v output.

Thanks for your help.

Regard,
David
