I have upgraded cvs on my Mac OS X machine from 1.10 to 1.11 using
fink (a Mac OS X package manager). The problem is still there, but now
the trace option give a little more information:

cvs -t ci -m "message" filename
cvs commit: notice: main loop with
CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs/abc
 -> Sending file `filename' to server
cvs [commit aborted]: reading filename: File too large

I'll try to upgrade from 1.11 to 1.11.2, but this is not going to be
easy for me as that version is not in fink yet, and Mac OS X/Darwin is
not on the list of tested platforms for 1.11.2 and I'm not an expert
compiling code.
