Bzr Error Committing Changes

[A. S. Budden]

Dear all,

Something has gone very wrong with my bazaar installation.  I can
successfully check out projects, I can run "bzr add", "bzr
version-info", "bzr status", "bzr diff" etc, but when I run "bzr ci",
I get the message:

bzr: ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

There are no other messages and no explanation of which "file or
directory" is missing.  I've tried this on two working directories and
get exactly the same message.  I've even tried removing the working
tree, repeating the "bzr co" and trying again.  I've also tried with
and without the bzr server running in the background, but it makes no
difference.

I was running bzr version 1.11 on cygwin initially, but I've since
tried compiling and installing bzr 1.16.1, but again, it makes no
difference.  Full details of the current bazaar version are below.

Can anyone suggest what might have happened to cause this problem?
This is a recent cygwin install (my old PC had a hard-disk failure),
so I can't remember whether I've ever used "bzr ci" successfully on
this PC, but I'm really concerned that I cannot commit any changes
that I make to my projects!  Is there any way to make bzr produce a
more verbose error message (I tried "bzr ci --verbose", but that gave
the same message)?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
