It is surprising that a change in configure options could affect such
a thing.


What happens if you start with `emacs -Q', and open the README file
from the directory where you checked out the CVS trunk?

If you repeat the experiment, but do M-x toggle-debug-on-error before
opening README, do you get any backtrace?

What does 

M-: (executable-find "cvs")

return?

What does

M-: (vc-cvs-registered "/path/to/emacs/cvs/README")

return?


What does

M-x list-load-path-shadows

say?
