Frank, > when a user of us is trying to check in a pics file (~700MB) in cvs <snip> > cvs [commit aborted] out of memory
As Larry pointed out this message comes from the server. Aside from the possibilities that Larry mentioned - are you running CVSNT server on Windows by any chance? There is a "bug" in the Microsoft C runtime library implementation of malloc() and realloc() that causes this error to (incorrectly) occur when a block of memory is reallocated many times (as is the case with files over about 500MB). If you are using CVSNT server on Windows please contact the CVSNT newsgroup: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt We've given our commercial support customers a few different patches to try and resolve this and at least one of them has proven to work quite well.
