Using Windows XP SP3 client. Reverting to CVS version 1.11.22-1 works.
Looking at `cvs -t up` output, it appears that the 1.12 version truncates the ".new" file at the 14th character, which happens to be a "." for filenames with 8-character basenames. This fails on CIFS & VFAT mounts, but works on NTFS, for me at least. Hopefully that is sufficient detail to reproduce the issue.
