possible bug in 'cvs status'

We have a cvs server that doesn't do :pserver or :ext -- just plain
vanilla directory name.
Let us say the cvs repository is on host A.

To reproduce bug,

a. login to host A
b. set CVSROOT to A.cisco.com:/usr/local/cvsroot
c. set CVS_RSH to ssh
d. cvs co -rMYTAG module-test
e. cd module-test/test1/
f. cvs status somefile

I don't see any Date in the output of cvs status.

To fix bug,

a. login to host A
b. set CVSROOT to /usr/local/cvsroot
c. set CVS_RSH to ssh
d. cvs co -rMYTAG module-test
e. cd module-test/test1/
f. cvs status somefile.

Now you see the Date in the output.

The problem, I think is that cvs relies on the output of the date
command to fill in the date in cvs status and when using ssh, if the
PATH is not right, it can't find 'date'.
