There's a known incompatibility between CVS 1.11.2 and previous clients
when using compression that causes a hung server with no CPU
utilization.  There's another known bug that causes the server to go
into an infinite loop when a signal is received under certain
circumstances.  Both of these problems are fixed in the current
development version of CVS that you can get from the repository at
www.cvshome.org.
