Problem with CVS under cygwin - file make:

[Donald T Hayford <don%donhayford.com@localhost>]

If there is a better location for this question, please let me know.  
Thanks.
I'm trying to retrieve NetBSD-current using CVS under cygwin.  I use the 
following command lines:
$ export CVS_RSH="ssh"
$ export CVSROOT="anoncvs%anoncvs.NetBSD.org@localhost:/cvsroot"
$ cvs checkout -A -P src

Everything seems to be running ok, until I get the following error message:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot make directory src/compat/lib/libm/make:: 
No such file or directory
I think the problem is that the directory in question has a ":" at the 
end of the name (i.e., it is "src/compat/lib/libm/make:"), which I 
suppose Windows is objecting to.  I scrounged through the web-based CVS 
repository, and there is, in fact, a directory with that name, though 
there is nothing in it that I could see.  But I don't know how to make 
cvs skip that directory or to keep on going anyway.
Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks - Don
