  Could be an error during install left you with one or more missing files,
these symptoms are very typical of a missing DLL.  Run "cygcheck /bin/cvs.exe"
to find out, it'll tell you if anything's missing.  If so, you should be able
to fix it by just running setup.exe again and clicking 'next' all the way
through without changing the settings; it'll verify your installation and
repair/replace anything that's missing.
