Automake CVS: load average is too high

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

Could anybody please check what's going on with Automake CVS?  If I'm 
using anonymous CVS (:pserver:address@hidden:/cvs/automake) it 
almost always fails:

$ cvs up
Fatal error, aborting.
load average of 25 is too high

The number varies from 15 to 25.  My guess is that there are runaway 
processes (CPU hogs) on the anoncvs.cygnus.com.  Old versions of CVS can 
create such processes on "cvs log -r," or something like that (I don't 
want to check it).

Since the CVS server doesn't reply to "cvs version", I assume it's old.
