Out of memory error

[ORANSKY, JEFF (SBCSI)]

I am having difficulties in migrating my CVS repository to a new server.
The new server is running a newer version of cvs (1.11.16) while the old
repository machine has 1.11.8.

I have numerous modules defined for the repository in the modules file.
These modules encompass in the neighborhood of 2000 separate files.
When I go to check out that module, I am getting the following error:

cvs [checkout aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 13139854 bytes

This error does not occur when I use version 1.11.8 of cvs, it does with
1.11.16.  Furthermore, if my CVSROOT is set to just using a local file
system the checkout succeeds, this error is only encountered when I am
using Pserver to get to the repository.

Finally, the module that I am encountering the error with has 1920 files
in it.  There is one file that is 32MB in size.  If I eliminate that
large file, or retag to a smaller version, that is 15MB in size, I do
not encounter this error.  I can check out the 32MB file by itself, I
only have the problem when I check it out as part of the module.

I am using IBM hardware with AIX version 5.1.

I have already tried increasing the ulimits for the user id that is used
to process the cvs requests.  I have increased them to unlimited, but
still get the error with the same exact number of bytes that you see
above.

Any help would be appreciated.
