Thanks, Tony. Sorry, it's a while since I originally installed this
repository, and it doesn't have the lock server enabled.

But after committing the CVSROOT/config file with 

LockServer=localhost

and restarting the services, I still get the 'Too many open files'
message, although the server no longer aborts after waiting for a lock, so
there are a lot more of them.

I'm reasonably sure that the lock service is working on this repository
now because I can now commit files without write permission to the
repository.
