Cygwin cvs hang when used with PuTTY plink

[John Holman]

I'm trying to use plink (release version 0.53b) and pageant along with 
Cygwin cvs 1.11.6 on windows 98SE. A commandline CVS command succeeds 
and displays the expected output, but then appears to hang. Nonetheless 
in fact the DOS window is in fact alive and listening to input, for new 
commands typed in are effective and the responses will appear if you 
type ^C.

Example:

D:\dev>cvs status README
===================================================================
File: README            Status: Up-to-date
   Working revision:    1.3
   Repository revision: 1.3     /mis/dev/README,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)
... here the DOS window appears to hang. However if I now type "echo 
hello", after pressing ^C I get the following lines ...

D:\dev>echo hello
hello
If I use Cygwin ssh in place of plink this hang does not occur.
Also, Eclipse's CVS appears to work correctly with either plink or 
Cygwin ssh.

Hard to know if this is PuTTY, Cygwin, or something else. Thanks for any 
insight!

John.
