Locking while tagging problem

Locking while tagging problem |

Until recently we've been using CVS 1.10 on our clients running Windows NT
4.0 and CVS 1.10.5 on the server running Solaris 2.7. At the end of each
build we apply a label tag. There are roughly 22000 file in 2400
directories spread across 6 modules. Tagging this many files generally
takes 3 hours. With CVS 1.10.5 it appears to lock only the directories that
are being written to at that moment, which has relatively little impact on
the developers.
However, we recently upgraded the server to CVS 1.11.1p1 in order to pick up
a much needed bug fix. For now the clients are still running CVS 1.10. Now
when we tag, CVS 1.11.1p1 appears to place locks in every directory until
tagging has completed. The locks in question have a name like
#cvs.wfl.cvs.1052. Our Perl script tags with the following command:
cvs -Q tag -F $tag
Locking the source tree for 3 hours has a major impact on development. With
development going on all over the world, tagging in the middle of the night
doesn't work (it's always someone's day).
1. Is this a new "feature" in CVS 1.11.1p1 or a bug?
2. Can it be resolved by moving the client to CVS 1.11.1p1 (which we planned
to do anyway)?
Thanks,
-Scott
