What does a 'cvs status file.txt' tell you (before and after you do the
update)? Does another 'cvs update -PAd' cause file.txt to disappear?
You don't happen to have both a file.txt directory and a file.txt,v file
in your repository do you? (Although I would have expected you to have
run across a 'file.txt already exists but is not a directory' kind of error
message in that case).
