Hi, just got finished building CVS 1.11.2 from source for SunOs 5.8. Compiles great, however I am having an issue with "cvs checkout". I can use the cvs login, update, commit, and import commands fine. I can also do "cvs checkout -c" to list modules on the server. However, using the "cvs checkout <module>" command in an attempt to check a module out results in a permanently hung process. Here are the details I have been able to glean:
The SunOs client sends two packets (TCP OPEN) to the server to open up the connection, then abruptly stops sending before ever getting to the checkout command (obtained via tcpdump). Clients from other machines (platforms) are able to check out modules without difficulty from the same server. O/S : SunOs 5.8. configure options: ./configure --disable-server --with-krb5=no netstat shows an open socket while the cvs process is hung. problem can be reproduced regardless of local uid or cvs uid. Here is gdb output : This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8"... (gdb) run checkout openssl Starting program: /usr/local/bin/cvs checkout openssl ^C /* after waiting for 10 minutes */ Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xff31abd8 in readlink () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 (gdb) bt #0 0xff31abd8 in readlink () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 0x1c9c8 in safe_location (where=0x0) at checkout.c:416 #2 0x1c450 in checkout (argc=1, argv=0xffbefd94) at checkout.c:263 #3 0x3cec0 in main (argc=2, argv=0xffbefd90) at main.c:989 (gdb) So it is apparently hung up in readlink (). I have reproduced this stack trace consistently. I am worried that cvs checkout is following a bad symbolic link (from man readlink(2)) but I have tried this as multiple users in multiple directories containing no symlinks whatsoever. Does checkout read some directories automatically before proceeding? If so, can this be disabled in some way?
