I have encountered the same problem, have investigated it a bit and came out with two interesting facts:
A) Without changing anything else than replacing cygwin1.dll, using the snaphot cygwin1-20050928.dll works fine while using cygwin1-20050929.dll produces the problem. B) Also without changing anything else than replacing cygwin1.dll, using the snaphot cygwin1-20050928.dll "mkdir /tmp/foo/." runs fine while with cygwin1-20050929.dll you see: > $ mkdir /tmp/foo/. > mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/foo/.': No such file or directory Frank-Michael Igor Peshansky wrote: > On Wed, 25 Jan 2006, René Berber wrote: > >> Igor Peshansky wrote: >> [snip] >>> FWIW, I could reproduce the original problem, either with or without >>> ":ext:". >> The combination cvs/ssh has no problem : >> >> $ echo $CVS_RSH >> ssh >> $ echo $CVSROOT >> :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home0/cvsrep >> $ cvs co junit-test >> cvs server: Updating junit-test >> U junit-test/.classpath >> U junit-test/.project >> cvs server: Updating junit-test/lib >> ... >> >> Remote CVS server is Solaris, local ssh and Cygwin dll versions are >> latest released. > > Then you have misunderstood the original problem.
