CVSEDITOR is not set.
EDITOR is set to "vi".
which vi reports:
/usr/bin/vi
and invoking "vi" works.

Steve,
When a 'cvs commit' is invoked without the -m option, an editor is started
to create the message. Which editor is started is determined (in order of
priority) by the -e flag, the CVSEDITOR environment variable, the VISUAL
environment variable, and the EDITOR environment variable. Please check
what the values of these varaibles are (if they are set). In case none of
these variables are set, cvs invokes the system default editor (i.e.
'vi'). Please see whether you have a non-cygwin vi in your path (by
running 'which vi' or 'bash -c "type -a vi"').

I'm running cvs 1.11 on Windows 2000, and the latest cygwin inside tcsh

If I run "cvs commit" from tcsh, it runs a bit, and then brings up a popup:

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

If I click on "Ignore", I get two more popups (clicking on "Ignore" each
time),
then I get the message:
Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs
Action: (continue)
So, cvs appears not to like not having a message specified ("-m" flag),
but it's a rather rude way of telling me.
