It works for me on Ubuntu GNU/Linux as well. I have tried to debug it and I haven't 
been able to arrive at a conclusion (hence this bug report) myself, but I am pretty
sure it has to do with the fact that it runs under Windows. For some reason, vs-rcs
is not able to set the file read-only after a check in or "register file" operation, like
under GNU/Linux.

I think one of the more experienced Emacs developers who has access to Windows
Will be able to recreate and find the cause quite easily. For me, vs-rcs is a bit to...
messy to understand.

Sorry for that. I do use a newer version but I happened to use the older version
for reporting the bug. I have the same problem with the pretest from the middle of
January.

Thanks for the prompt reply!
