pserver: files not being released

[ruud . senden]

Hi,

We've got Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10 `Halibut' (client/server)
running on AIX. When running CVS locally on that AIX machine everything
works correctly. However, we've got some problems using the CVS repository
remotely using pserver from Eclipse/IBM WebSphere Application Developer
running on WinNT 4.0 SP6a. We can access the repository correctly, but when
we try to release (check-in) files in some specific project the files do
not get updated in the CVS repository. For other projects check-in works
correctly. I'm wondering whether this is a CVS problem or a problem with
Eclipse.

I've checked the permissions on the repository and they look the same for
all projects; drwxrwsr-x for directories, -r--r--r-- for all ,v-files.
Owners are different, but groups are the same. I've included the pserver
requests and responses below for checking in a newly created Java class. Is
this enough information to determine what the problem is, or do you need
more information (and how do I gather that information)? Anything else that
I can try to get this working? One peculiarity of Eclipse is that is checks
in all files as binaries (I think), can this cause any problems?
