Yes, but that is not what is happening in Albert's case as far as I
can see. In his case the Emacs customization code is writing the
keybinding into his .emacs file, using the two noncontrol characters
'^' and 'Z' to represent the single charcter Control-Z. I don't know
why this should cause a problem for CVS.

That is what jde.el uses also for some keybindings.
