[cvsnt] Client Lockup during Checkout

[Casimiro Daniel NPRI]

Hi,

I am having a problem where the client locks up while I check out sources.  This happened sporadically with the version distributed alongside wincvs.  I recently updated to the latest stable release (2.0.58d) and it now happens almost every time.

The client simply sits at the last file in the repository.  The process never returns.  I can "wake the client up" if I log into the linux box and kill the cvs server process.

The client is installed on Windows 2000, with all of the latest patches installed.  Here is the output of cvs --version:

I am using the :extssh: protocol to connect to a linux repository.  The repository is running on gentoo linux.  The version of cvs is:


>> Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.18 (client/server)
