>Release:        FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Virtual Estates, Inc.
>Environment:

	setenv CVS_RSH ssh2

>Description:

	When committing to a remote location, ssh2 is invoked. It properly
	prompts for password, etc. But when cvs invokes vi after that, vi quits
	immediately with: ``Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable''

	Other non-X editors break in a similar fasion.

>How-To-Repeat:

	See Environment and Description.

>Fix:
	
	. Use RSH, which is insecure and requires use of .rhost, which is even worse,
		with CVS_RSH environment variable, or
	. Use some X-editor, such as gvim or xedit, with EDITOR environment variable:
		env EDITOR=xedit cvs commit
