Under "pure cygwin ruby (1.7.1) with the cygwin cvs" and "pure cygwin
ruby (1.7.1 with WinCvs1.2-cvs" I get this one running too, but not with
the ruby1.6.3-1.exe installable and the WinCvs1.2-cvs. My implication
therefore is that the ruby1.6.3-build ((2001-03-19) [i386-cygwin]) causes
the "problem". 

Weird is also that I don't get any output. Neither with the '2>&1' nor
with the (p)open3 call. See my popen3 code (copied from the open3.r
file): 

=== begin
require "open3"

cmd = 'cvs commit -m "checked" myFile'
ini, out, err = Open3.popen3(cmd)
Thread.start do
  while line = gets
    ini.print line
  end
  ini.close
end
while line = out.gets
  print ":", line
end
while line = err.gets
  print ":", line
end
===== end

NO OUTPUT AT ALL.
Anymore hints?
Regards
Clemens
