I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce this.  I've tried your exact command, 
with 'export CVS_RSH=ssh' (I use bash, not a csh-ish shell).  I've done 
it in a working directory which is mounted in binary (unix) mode, and in 
one which is mounted in text (DOS) mode.  In both cases, it works 
without error.

Now, that's started from a standstill (no previous checkout).

I note that when I do this 'beginning' checkout from a text mode working 
directory, the following files have '^M' endings:

*/CVS/Entries
*/CVS/Entries.log
*/CVS/Repository
*/CVS/Root
*/CVS/Tag

That might be a bad thing -- since it would tend to mess up future 
'update' checkouts (and cvs diffs, and ...) ***IF*** cvs is opening 
those files for READ in binary mode (that is, not translating the '^M's 
away).

But it doesn't.

I mean, cvs opens those files in the appropriate mode, stripping away 
the '^M's as far as I can tell.  I'm going to need more information.

"Run 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out' and include that file as an
attachment in your report.  Please do not compress or otherwise encode
the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be
easily viewed."
