You're out of memory.  :-)

If you're using client/server mode, the problem is on the server, not
the client.  See the manual:

        <http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_2.html#SEC27>

for memory requirement estimates.  Note that many systems have a limit
on the amount of virtual memory that a single process can use, so a
process can run out of virtual memory long before the system itself
does.  If you don't know how to increase the per-process limits, you'll
need to ask in an OS-specific forum since it varies from system to
system.
