A successful `cvs -t ...' run (from another machine) ends with this:

S-> Lock_Cleanup()
 -> Lock_Cleanup()
 -> Lock_Cleanup()

An unsuccessful (Win98 machine) run ends with this:

S-> Lock_Cleanup()
(long pause, then I type Ctrl+C)
CVS.EXE [status aborted]: received interrupt signal
-> Lock_Cleanup()
Killed by signal 2.
