flow control working?

[Kevin Murphy]

Hi,

Flow control doesn't seem to be working for me with cvs 1.11.21 on Mac 
OS X.  Doing a checkout of a module with a few dozen very large files 
(up to 700MB), I saw the cvs process on the server side consuming 
ever-increasing amounts of memory, up to more than 1GB.  Or maybe I 
don't understand what flow control is supposed to do ....

I compiled cvs 1.11.21 on Mac OS X 10.4.6 with flow control enabled:

./configure --enable-server-flow-control=1M,2M

and installed it into /usr on two computers.

I confirmed that the only cvs binaries are in /usr/bin/, and they are 
the new version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin
