Hello Todd,
thanks for your suggestions.

No, cygwin does not have script (or at least not installed). Anyway,
cvs release -d ... 2>&1|tee out
works, too.

the "corrected" output is:
cvs update: cannot open directory /var/lib/cvs/cbm/vice<CR>: No such file or
directory<NL>[...]
where <CR> and <NL> are the respective characters.

Well, yes, to a limited extent. ;-)

Yes, I executed <path-to-cvs>/cvs directly (and did a cvs --version to
be sure).
Anyway, I found out this not to be optimal, as CVS seems to try to run
exactly <path-to-cvs>/cvs on the server, which cannot be found or, even
worse, might be something different (as in my case).
At least, my crash has gone after I put the new path into the PATH
environment variable.
Thanks,
Spiro.
