cvs broken on win2k after recent cygwin upgrade:"The descriptor is a file, not a socket"

I just upgraded this afternoon to the latest version of cygwin (by running
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe), and now cvs no longer works. I
get the following error message when trying to do a "cvs update" or a "cvs
checkout" using pserver:
cvs [checkout aborted]: writing to server: The descriptor is a file, not a
socket
I am running cygwin under Win2k SP1, with the version of cvs (cvs version
1.11) that installed automatically when the aforementioned setup program was
run.
The previous version of cygwin that I was using (and that had a working cvs)
was installed sometime last fall (around October 2000 if memory serves).
So, it appears that the cygwin upgrade that I did this afternoon caused cvs
to stop working.
I noticed that this problem was mentioned in the mail archives from last
month (see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00007.html), but
there didn't seem to be any mention of a workaround. Is there anyone who
could help me solve this problem?
Regards, Matt
