Abort a commit?

[Claudius Link]

Hello,

I am quit confused at the moment.  
Up to now (or rather already some day ago) I could abort a commit if I didn't 
save any message in the log file.  Like this
  ----------------------
  Log message unchanged or not specified
  a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs
  Action: (continue) 
  ----------------------

But right now the editor is started on the file (which already contains 2 blank
lines) and if I exit without saving the commit continues.

I tried it with a new repository, other $EDITOR setting, and a different
shell.
Always with the same result.

So it looks that some default options or global configs changed during an 
upgrade but I don't know where to look.

My version of CVS is:
  $ cvs --version
  Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

A working version (on a different host) is
        > cvs --version
        Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10 `Halibut' (client/server)

Any hints for me?

Regards,
Claudius
