Here is what the CVS folks said in response to my e-mail to them. My original message is after their response.

You need to ask the cygwin folks what would cause open(".new.p_change.pl", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0777) to fail with errno set to ENOENT. -- Larry Jones I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the world. -- Calvin Here is the trace for a checkout. I've removed most of the file and left just two similarly named files. One failed and one succeeded.

Please run the update again with the -t global option to get a trace and post it. My guess is that the affected files have funky names that are confusing cygwin and/or Windows. -- Larry Jones Hello, local Navy recruitment office? Yes, this is an emergency... -- Calvin I'm going to try to add more information in the effort to get a response. My system setup: 64 bit XP Dual quad-core Cygwin 1.7.1 The situation: I check out a module of my repository (located on a remote machine) and a handful of files do not get downloaded due to the "no such file" error described below. I then try to update the same module and get the same error on the same files. I check it out again and get exactly the same response on exactly the same files. I have checked the permissions on the files in the repository. I have removed some watches that were on some of the files. Bottom line: I have a very repeatable problem with no evidence of a cause I've found. If you have any suggestions, please respond. If this is the incorrect forum, please advise. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: info-cvs-bounces+roe2=llnl....@nongnu.org [mailto:info-cvs-bounces+roe2=llnl....@nongnu.org] On Behalf Of Roe, Kevin L.
