cvs status not showing unknown files ?

[Olivier Fambon]

Hi all,

Is it just me (and my SunOS 5.8 cvs-1.10.7), or cvs status does not
work as usual ?

If I have a directory under CVS, and a file _not_ under CVS in it, say
bz.txt, cvs status does not report the usual:

? bz.txt


Of course, there is no .cvsignore in this dir, no special options, ...
I tried it with several cvs versions [1.9, 1.5, 1.10], and with a
fresh cvs init'ed repository, but gave the same result.

Is is a known bug on Solaris ? Some other [global/repository]
configuration problem ?

Any help welcome.

[PS: I'm not on the list, so pliz reply to me too]
