We are using v2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (client/server).

I'd be curious if anyone else can replicate this problem.  We are 
encountering it on four windows xp boxes.  To quote from the original 
e-mail:

We just recently started running CVSNT (Windows XP) with the :ssh: 
protocol.  The problem I'm encountering is that if, for example, I try 
to do a 'cvs commit' but then close notepad without editing the log 
message, I can't enter anything at the "a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, 
!)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs" prompt.  It seems 
like all stdin is ignored and all I'm able to do is CTRL-C to kill cvsnt.
