I've seen the same problem... it seems to only have happened since SourceForge upgraded their CVS servers. Perhaps this is a CVS bug? When I ran ktrace on cvs, it was just reading 5 bytes continuously in a loop.
Are you running 10.2.8?

I just had a similar thing happen doing a selfupdate-cvs. Nothing was apparently happening in the terminal, but top -u showed the cvs processing using all of one CPU, and the memory requirements growing by the second. I did a control-C to stop the carnage, and tried again and it worked perfectly.
I'm running 10.2.6.
