cvs commit hangs with no commit message (1.11.2)

[Colin Viebrock]

If I do a "cvs commit", it fires up my editor and asks for a log 
message.  If I leave it blank and quit the editor, I get the standard:

    Log message unchanged or not specified
    a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for
    remaining dirs

If I choose "c", CVS just hangs.  I can see that it creates the 
#cvs.lock and #cvs.xxx.machinename.12345 files in the repository 
directories, but it never commits.  I need to cancel the commit, 
manually remove those lock files, and recommit ... either with a log 
message, or with: cvs commit -m ""

When I try running cvs commit -t, I get this:


Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs
Action: (continue) c
 -> unlink_file(/tmp/cvspy9cQI)
 -> Sending file `index.php' to server
S-> write_lock(/repository/specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup)
S-> checkout (/repository/specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup/index.php,v, 
1.2, , (function))
S-> Parse_Info (/repository/CVSROOT/commitinfo, 
specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup, ALL)
S-> system('/repository/CVSROOT/cvs_acls' 'cmv' 
'/repository/specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup' 'index.php')
S-> system('/repository/CVSROOT/commitinfo.pl' 
'/repository/specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup' 'index.php')
S-> Parse_Info (/repository/CVSROOT/rcsinfo, 
specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup, ALL)
S-> Parse_Info (/repository/CVSROOT/editinfo, 
specific/ehostcanada/pages/signup, not ALL)

Then it hangs.  When I break out again, I've lost my cursor. :/

Any ideas?  This all started after upgrading to 1.11.2 (using apt on 
debian, if that matters).
