Hi Paul,

Timing problems are very tricky. Could you try to collect just a bit
more inforamtion?

On the cvs command, use a -ttt switch to get tracing information
(i.e., 'cvs -ttt -z3 ...') you might also try in a separate run
setting the CVS_CLIENT_LOG environment variable.

   CVS_CLIENT_LOG=cvs-client-log; export CVS_CLIENT_LOG

This will put into the cvs-client-log.in and cvs-client-log.out files.
It is possible that adding this debugging information will also not let
the problem exhibit itself.

        Thank you!
