    A subprocess can't affect the parent process's environment (ie
running ant can't change the EDITOR env var in the calling shell,
unless you 'source ant').

    Are you somehow doing your cvs commit through ant?

    I'm guessing there is something wrong in the way your shell is set
up, or else there is a bug in the Kernel/shell.

Thierry and Vincent experienced the same problem. It looks like random
modifications. One time it even changed my PATH.
