One thing you could try is to recompile CVS without HAVE_MMAP flag. On a 32 bit system memory mapped files will hit the 2GB limit. By default CVS uses mmap'd files for faster performance.
That said CVS could avoid loading entire file in memory and work off segements when doing common operation. However that would be a longer term fix not something you can do today.
