I'm afraid I don't remember everything.  I should have looked at
`view-lossage', but I forgot.

Not sure, either I did `M-x add-change-log-entry-other-window RET' (in
`pcvs.el' or the diff buffer) or `A' in the *cvs* buffer.

Then probably saved it and later realized that it wasn't up to date,
so I removed my modification, saved and ran cvs-update.  I think then
(as you say before it completed?) I tried `A', being curious if the
bug kicks in, expecting it doesn't.

I added it to my init files.
