Yes, using the cvs pserver is not really supported on cygwin. There
have been sporadic reports that it works (and that it doesn't) -- but
you're basically on your own (but try this:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/cvsserver.html ).
It's both more secure and easier to just set up an ssh server, and use
the :ext: protocol instead.
