I'm trying to connect to a CVS server using the "ext" method, and the 
default "rsh" command of Windows XP. The way we have the server set up, there 
is an account name but no password. When using the standard Windows rsh.exe I 
get the error "Unknown response received from cvs server: ok". If I run the 
cygwin rsh.exe it work ok, so it must be some kine of carriage return/line 
feed problem. The cvs server is running Unix (freebsd I think). So although we 
have a workaround, this is an extra setup step for our users that it would be 
nice to avoid.

This looks similar to bug 21180, except that I'm using ext and rsh and no 
password.

Although differnt tools are being used, it loks like the root of the problem is 
the same (i.e. the external communicatons tool being used is adding a CR or LF.
