I'm having a similar problem with CVS updates. An update in a big
tree (XEmacs) often terminates with a Coda timeout (unfortuantely I
don't have a log around because I'm having worse problems with coda,
so the cron job hasn't found anything to update in days---separate
msg). AFAIK cvs updates do not create many files (assuming few
changed files, which is the case here; AFAIK the only thing they
always create is CVS/Entries.backup in each directory), but they do do
a lot of stats.
Could this be the same problem?
