cvs broken on win2k after recent cygwin upgrade:"The descriptor is a file, not a socket"

[Matthew D. Langston]

I just upgraded this afternoon to the latest version of cygwin (by running
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe ), and now cvs no longer works.  I
get the following error message when trying to do a "cvs update" or a "cvs
checkout" using pserver:

cvs [checkout aborted]: writing to server: The descriptor is a file, not a
socket

I am running cygwin under Win2k SP1, with the version of cvs (cvs version
1.11) that installed automatically when the aforementioned setup program was
run.

The previous version of cygwin that I was using (and that had a working cvs)
was installed sometime last fall (around October 2000 if memory serves).
So, it appears that the cygwin upgrade that I did this afternoon caused cvs
to stop working.

I noticed that this problem was mentioned in the mail archives from last
month (see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00007.html ), but
there didn't seem to be any mention of a workaround.  Is there anyone who
could help me solve this problem?

Regards, Matt
