>Synopsis: cvs misbehaves if .cvsrc file lines end in <CR><LF>
>Severity:

>Release: 1.11.21
>Environment: solaris, GNU/Linux, cygwin
System: Linux zephyr 2.4.21-37.ELhugemem #1 SMP Wed Sep 7 13:22:27 EDT 2005

Architecture: i686
>Description:
I have found that if the .cvsrc file has <CR><LF> as the line
termination that cvs does not like that. Below is what it does.
/tools/wdtgnu/cvs-1.11.21/bin/cvs --version
/tools/wdtgnu/cvs-1.11.21/bin/cvs: invalid option --
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
(specify --help-options for a list of options)
where command is add, admin, etc.
(specify --help-commands for a list of commands
or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
(specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
Specify --help to receive this message
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.

I found this in the cygwin 1.11.17 version but tried it on linux also and get
the same results.
It seems that the line termination should be able to be any CR or LF
combination.
>How-To-Repeat:
This is my .csrc file and use <CR><LF> at the end of each line
diff -rHEAD
cvs -q
update -d
>Fix:
I assume cvsrc.c need fixed but I don't know how.
