Problems with cvs-1.11.5

[David Abrahams]

After dropping the cvs-1.11.5 available at
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList?action=download&dlID=239
in my path, I started noticing some strange behavior:

   1. I have CVS_READ set in my environment.  After checking out a
      file from NTEmacs using `C-x v v' the buffer becomes modifiable
      and write permission on the file is apparently granted
      (according to ls), but I can't save the file until I explicitly
      `chmod +w ...' it.

   2. This is the serious one: when I attempt to commit a single
      file, it is as though the filename I supplied on the
      command-line is completely ignored, and everything committable
      gets committed instead.

Slow though it may be, I'm going back to my cygwin cvs until I know
how to get around these problems!  Any help appreciated (deeply).

Thanks,
Dave
