i'm trying to use cygwin's cvs in server-mode for another application
I get the following error, but on a linux-system, everything is fine!

As Brian said, this was already reported. The ball is now in the CVS maintainer's court: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg01383.html>.

That's exactly right (see line 1002 of server.c).

Is this a bug in cygwin?

Yes.

I think I'd rather not add a hackish workaround in server.c (ignore the obvious bug in the dreck below)


if (status != 0
- && status != EEXIST
+ && (status != EEXIST)
+#ifdef __CYGWIN__
+ && ((status != ENOENT) && (dir[strlen(dir)-2] == '/') && (dir(strlen(dir)-1] == '.'))
+#endif
+ )
....signal error...


and just say "use a snapshot cygwin1.dll, or update to 1.5.20 when it is released".
