cvs edit problem on multiple sandboxes for one user

[Peter Toft]

Assume that sandbox 1 and sandbox 2 are two different directories e.g. for 
development and the other for testing.

User A in sandbox 1:
--------------------
$ cvs edit foo.txt
$ cvs editors foo.txt
foo.txt A       Wed Mar 25 21:48:32 2009 -0000  serenity.petertoft.dk 
/home/A/foocvs1

User B
--------------------
$ cvs update -A foo.txt
$ cvs update -r 1.1 foo.txt
$ cvs update -A foo.txt
$ cvs editors foo.txt
<as many updates as you want - no problems>
foo.txt A       Wed Mar 25 21:48:32 2009 -0000  serenity.petertoft.dk 
/home/A/foocvs1

User A in sandbox 2:
--------------------
$ cvs update -r 1.1 foo.txt
$ cvs update -A foo.txt
$ cvs editors foo.txt
## NO LOCK on foo.txt - BUMMER - the lock should have been kept ##
