wine users - Apr 2009 - WinCVS breaks after 1.1.17

WinCVS does not work properly with Wine post 1.1.17. (Ubuntu Jaunty)

For some reason, a fresh checkout of a repository shows files as
"modified" even though they have just been checked out.

I reverted back to 1.1.17 and things are back to normal.  I am not sure how to
file this so I am posting here.

If you're able to use CVS, you should be able to use git :-) A
regression test is the way to pinpoint just what broke it for a bug
report:

This will allow you to zero in on the precise commit that broke WinCVS on Wine.

So i checked out the Source and compiled -- and verified that the problem exists
on HEAD.

Then I patched like you said and compiled -- and the problem goes away.

Is there already a bug posted for this? Is there a workaround?

Thanks.
