cron jobs typically run with stdout redirected to a pipe, on the other
end of which crond reads the job's output, and then sends an email to
the user who owns the job. If crond decides to stop caring (if it
closes its end of the pipe), you'll get this error whether you're
using CVS or SVN.
Does the error persist if you redirect standard output also to a file?
For extra credit, also redirect stdin to /dev/null.
