For some reason, cvs commit is behaving differently on my home pc
(windows) than it is elsewhere.  

At work and on all my friends' computers, cvs commit behaves as I expect
it should.  When you have multiple changes in subdirectories and you
commit, an editor comes up for you to enter a log message.  The cvs
comment in the editor lists all of the files in the current directory as
well as those in all subdirectories.  You enter a log message, save, and
you're done.  

I've tried a couple different versions of cvs on my computer at home, and
they all behave in the following manner.  When there are multiple changes
in subdirectories and I commit, an editor comes up for me to enter a log
message.  However, the cvs comment in this case only lists the modified
files in the current directory.  I enter a comment, save, and close the
window.  Then another editor window pops up for the files in one of the
subdirectories.  Then another, and another, until all subdirectories have
been logged and committed.  This gets to be a huge pain when I have a lot
of modified files.  I've asked several of the people that I work with and
they have never seen this before.  Has anyone else seen behavior like
this?  Is this a configuration issue?  

Here is an example:
I the current directory is PROJ.  I am trying to commit
.\resource\textures\circle.bmp and .\resource\modles\box.ms3d
I get two different editor windows to enter log messages in.  Here are
the contents of the two windows:

1)
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CVS: Enter Log.  Lines beginning with `CVS:' are removed automatically
CVS: 
CVS: Committing in resources/models
CVS: 
CVS: Added Files:
CVS: 	box.ms3d 
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

2)
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CVS: Enter Log.  Lines beginning with `CVS:' are removed automatically
CVS: 
CVS: Committing in resources/textures
CVS: 
CVS: Added Files:
CVS: 	circle.bmp 
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
