I just downloaded cvs 1.11.1p1 and WinCVS 1.3
1.11.1.p1 is still using a different format to WinCVS1.2
WinCVS 1.3 crashed when i tried a 'status' .
So as far as i can tell the problem still exists.
I'm tempted to patch cvs1.11.1p1 myself to fix this.. surely it cant be that
much of a patch.

This is a bug in most, if not all, versions of the Microsoft C Library:
the C Standard clearly requires the space, not a zero.

There is code in the most recent release of CVS (1.11.1p1) to work
around this problem and I know the same changes have been made to
WinCVS, but I don't know whether they've been released or not. I
suggest you upgrade both to the most recent releases available.
