Although I replied privately to Arthur I'd like to post the resolution to the general list.
It turns out that this error is triggered when the server is in a low-memory situation. Something was screwed up on our box and we have almost run out of swap space. As soon as we resolved that this problem went away. Thanks. ...Jake >>>>> "AB" == Arthur Barrett <[email protected]> writes: AB> Jake, AB> What version of CVS are you using?
