Once in vi, go to another window, and to an ls -l on the file being
editted.

Make and save some changes using just :w

Do ls -l again, make sure the file date/time stamp and file size has
changed.

:q in vi

See if you still get the message.

(Ie, try to track down that nothing funny is going on with the system and
try to see if it's a bug in cvs.  If it still fails, may have to run cvs
under a debugger, or with added printf statements I would think).

As a temp solution, you can do

cvs commit -m "Line 1 blah blah blah <enter>
Line 2 blah blah blah <enter>
Line 3 blah blah blah" file1 file2 file3
