[cvsnt] Weird release message

I'm in the process of switching my team's source control from SourceSafe to
CVS (using CVSNT).  Everything has gone great, but there's been one little
issue that's bugged me.  When I invoke "cvs release -d somedir" on a
directory where I know all my changes have been committed, I get the message
"You have [1] altered files in this repository."  If I abort the release,
switch to somedir, and run "cvs -q -n update", CVS doesn't find any altered
files.  After some more experimentation, I found that "cvs release -d" would
always report one altered file, no matter how many files had actually been
altered.

Have I missed something somewhere?  When accessing the repository from
Solaris (client version 1-11-1p1), it seems to report the correct number of
altered files.  This is a small issue, everything else seems to work fine.
But it's bugging me, and possibly I've missed something.
