Sounds like the following bug(s) that were supposed to be fixed in CVS
1.10.3/1.10.6. So, I suppose it is a CVS bug. I don't know how hard it
will be to find/fix. I will look into it.

 From http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-known.html:

For CVS 1.10 (or so) through 1.10.5, on Windows (sometimes) and OS/2
(presumably), CVS tends to give an error such as "Permission denied"
when there is a conflict. Fixed by Larry Jones checkin to diff/diff3.c
on 1999-03-24. For older fixes of similar problems see "bugs fixed in
CVS 1.10.3" below.

AND

On OS/2, and sometimes on Windows, CVS 1.10 has some problems with CVS
trying to operate on open files, and similar problems. One symptom is
that checking in the addition of a new file can give a spurious warning
such as "cvs commit: warning: cannot change mode of file,v: Permission
denied" (fixed by Ian's checkin to remove fix_rcs_modes, 1998-08-17).
Another symptom is a similar error when trying to move files into or out
of the Attic (fix checked in 1998-08-25). Also see the 1998-09-28 fix to
windows-NT/filesubr.c (concerning the ,v files being readonly). CVS
1.10.3 does not fix all such problems; see above for one involving
conflicts. Setting DeleteReadOnly=yes for Samba is said to help, but I'm
confused about why that would be needed (based on looking at the code).

Thanks,
Brian
