BTW, I also use cvs from cvshome, but I'd prefer to use the MSYS one,
because of line endings. Unfortunately, MSYS cvs freezes when doing
"cvs update".

I found that this problem is well know with cvs. It is not due to MSYS.
So this is OT. OTOH, any help to fix that problem would be really
appreciated. Currently, I tried to insert some printf to trace the
execution.

I found that the problem appears in the "update()" procedure, in "update.c".
(If memory serves me right.)

I'll continue my inquires on Friday and maybe will report new information,
if any interest, otherwise, I'll continue my inquiries alone :(

Manu.
