Hmm this looks interesting.  Is this a vanilla 4.2-RELEASE machine, not
updated to -stable?  Is it a 4.2 install, or rebuilt from sources?

What is the output of   ident `which cvs`  ?

Other than that..  Could you do the following:

mkdir 75
cd 75
ktrace cvs ci foobar
kdump > cvs.out

..and then attach the cvs.out file, so someone could check exactly
what is it that cvs does wrong?

G'luck,
Peter

I tried it on serveral machines and cvs died on 4.0-RELEASE
and 4.2-stable.

$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.7 (client/server)

$ ident `which cvs`
/usr/bin/cvs:
     $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/yacc/skeleton.c,v 1.28 2000/01/17 02:04:06 bde Exp $

Hmm oops :) should've checked myself that this would not provide any
valuable information :)  (CVS itself does not have RCS id tags? weird..)

How about the ktrace/kdump output?

G'luck,

CVS 1.11 on my machine (5.0-CURRENT) does not have this problem.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Does not reproduce on my 4.3 machine: 

remote.feral.com > mkdir 75 
remote.feral.com > cd !$ 
cd 75 
/home/mjacob/75 
remote.feral.com > cvs ci foobar 
cvs commit: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option 
cvs [commit aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. 
remote.feral.com > CVSROOT=/home/ncvs cvs ci foobar 
cvs commit: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory 
cvs commit: nothing known about `foobar' 
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
