I can't add files remotely w/ 1.11

[S. J. Stremler]

I'm having a problem adding files to the CVS repository. I'm running the 
same version of CVS on the client (Solaris 2.6) and the server (Solaris 2.7)
and when I add a file, I *need* to give 'commit' an argument to make it 
take the file, OR I need to commit it from the server machine.

A mocked-up example might be:

% setenv CVSROOT :ext:me@server:/export/home/cvs/project/repository
% setenv CVS_RSH /usr/local/bin/ssh
% cvs checkout project
---stuff checks out---
% cd project
% vi foo.text
---edit file---
% cvs add foo.text
---usual message--
% cvs commit foo.text
---failure - cannot make or find foo.text on server---
% cvs commit -r 1.1 foo.text
---all is well---
%

If I 'step back' from version 1.11 to 1.10.4, it works as well.

I have looked through the manual and the newsgroup, to no avail. I
also poked around the website (http://cvshome.org) and didn't find
anything talking about this.

I've included a (slightly edited) 'typescript' file for the non-working
case, and for the working-from-the-older-version case as well.  I admit
that I'm a bit perplexed as what to do now.

If you have suggestions as to further testing, please let me know.
