cvs+ssh (client on Win98) hangs when finished

Sat Sep 15 11:20:00 GMT 2001

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
