Some examples:

*   An attempted check-in to a new text-mounted repository gets:

        modules$ cvs ci -m"testing"
        cvs commit: Examining .
        Checking in modules;
        /cygdrive/c/home/rad/srv/cvs/CVSROOT/modules,v  <--  modules
        new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
        done
        cvs commit: Rebuilding administrative file database
        gdbm fatal: read error

    and modifies `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules,v' but not
    `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules'.  With the repository mounted in binary
    mode, checkout and checkin work fine.

*   From one old repository, when text-mounted, using the "-r" flag with
    any cvs command (well, any of the few that I've tried) provokes

        gdbm fatal: read error
        
    In particular, when exporting with "-r", the read error message is
    printed, and no working files are checked out, but the
    administrative files in `CVS' are (!?), including the rarely seen
    `CVS/Tag'.  Exporting with "-D" OTOH works fine.

    Now binary-mounting the repository, "export -r" provokes a message

        ' is missing '='ax error in /srv/cvs/CVSROOT/config: line '

    but everything seems to work fine.

*   Another old repository works fine in text mode.  In binary mode, it
    complains on a variety of commands that

        ' is missing '='ax error in /srv/cvs/CVSROOT/config: line '

    but everything seems to work fine.

*   There was some message posted earlier about the need to use
    "conv2gdbm" under some circumstances.  It didn't seem to apply,
    but I tried it anyway.  All that happened was a message: 

        dbm file not opened

FWIW, here's the "cygcheck" output:
