1) None of the files should have dos new lines. Can you please point to the ones
that do?
2) I'm not able to reproduce this problem. I use cygwin perl on win32 as well.
Can you give more details on how this can be seen please?

unless the files are checked in as binary cvs will switch to the lineendings to
match the OS on checkout

in my case i am using cygwin cvs and cygwin is set to use dos lineendings

talking with cls , this issue has happened in other places in the tree

the real bug is cygwin perl mishandles chomping dos lineendings
