CVS/ssh hang, FreeBSD server, Windows client, 1.11.17

[Doug Lee]

I run a CVS 1.11.17 serveron FreeBSD and a CVS 1.11.17 client under
various Windows versions.  I use Cygwin ssh for the transport.

On a Win98 machine, commands execute but hang after completing their
work.  Example:  `cvs status proj.c' will print all it should but not
return to a prompt until I type Ctrl+C.  This is consistent across all
commands.  Typing Ctrl+C is not my favorite thing to do to CVS. :-)

`cvs -t ...' shows the hang always occurs in (or after)
Lock_Cleanup().  There are no lock files I can see hanging around on
the server, and CVS commands from other places (local and remote, ssh
and non-ssh) work fine.  The Win98 machine's Cygwin ssh client appears
to work also, including returning to its caller when terminating.  I
tested this both with an interactive ssh shell and by running `ls'
using the same syntax shown by `cvs -t' (namely, `cvs <addr> ls').

Any ideas?
