I have not really seen this before in either the 11.x or 12.x versions
of CVS.

It may be possible that one of the 'trigger' scripts might be doing
something odd, but that would depend on how your CVS is configured.

The CVS sources are public you could modify a local copy to add more
information to the commit() function if you think it would help you
narrow down the problem. Possibly writing into a file in /tmp/ or some
such that may be viewed only after you note the error arising again.

        Good luck,
