I am using it to chekin code to a repository on my local machine using the 
following command

cvs -d :pserver;hostname=localhost;port=2401:/CVSREPOSITORY import -m 
"Automated import by AProject Third Party Source import MACRO" -W "*.xlt -k 
'b'" -W "*.sys -k 'b'" -W "*.ise -k 'b'" -W "*.Exe -k 'b'" -W "*.xls -k 
'b'" -W "*.msi -k 'b'" AProject TPS/BPoject ORBITEC BPojectBeta1


cvs -d :pserver;hostname=localhost;port=2401:/CVSREPOSITORY import -m 
"Automated import by AProject Third Party Source import MACRO" AProject 
TPS/BPojectORBITEC BPojectBeta1

The size of the project is 208 MB (218,753,042 bytes).

I get the error from CVS:

cvs [import aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 2147454976 bytes

2147454976 bytes  is ~2Gig is this a files size limitaiton.  Partition is 
NTFS.  Is this a ram or HDD error.  Free space on HDD is 28.1 GB.

Machine is XP Pro Service Pack 2, 1GB RAM.

Why is this occuring?
What can I do to prevent it?
