Correct, I've double-checked the environment settings in the System
Properties/Environment variables.  

I was using a version of CVSNT that was likely from March-Hare, when I
uninstall that, I use an old stand-alone version of cvs.exe.

Maybe I'm just focusing on irrelevant details, but there are two different
sets of args passed to plink:

CVSNT	[March-Hare] => w2hzlnt703.miabh.us.blah.com -l "hzlnt7" cvs server
cvs [standalone]   => "-l" "hzlnt7" "w2hzlnt703.miabh.us.blah.com" "cvs
server"

Without giving away trade secrets -- is there anything that I can do to try
to trace where Komodo IDE v6.1 is obtaining/processing the args that it
passes to plink?

We use CVS, so switching to something that is more modern/supported like SVN
is no small undertaking.  I'm open to suggestions for a better CVS client,
the repository is hosted on a Solaris 10 system so I don't need an elaborate
CVS package that includes server and GUI, just a client that broker the
communication between Komodo IDE v6.1/Win7-x86 and CVS server.
