That's because it's a global option that goes before the command name,
not after it:

        cvs -t log <module>

I assume the first file should be Entries.  If so, that would be
appropriate for a directory containing a single subdirectory
(solaris-sparc).  Is that correct?  The Entries file does not stand
alone; if there is an Entries.Log file, it contains changes to the
Entries file that need to be applied before using it.

Recursion is the default for checkout (unless you have a ~/.cvsrc file
that overrides it).  Explicitly asking for recursion has absolutely no
effect if it's the default, so I don't think that's what really caused
the difference.  We really need the trace file to figure out what's
going on.
