OK, please submit a Bugzilla report against the eCos ConfigTool (version 
"CVS") using the instructions at:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/problemreport.html

I suspect that this issue is caused by a difference in behaviour between the 
Windows-native and Cygwin versions of the Tcl library which we need to 
accommodate either in the CDL library or in the eCos Configuration Tool 
itself. It would be helpful if you could try accessing the remote 
repository via a logical drive letter and add your conclusion to the bug 
report.

Thank you for the feedback.
