can reproduce bug 'cvs [server aborted]: received broken pipe signal'

[Tim 'Tool-Man' Taylor]

I'm able to reproduce the CVS bug with the error message 'cvs [server 
aborted]: received broken pipe signal'.

This happens with my SourceForge CVS repository when I commit with a 
largish log message.  Below are the trace outputs of running a cvs 
commit that resulted in the error, followed by the log message I used:
