Darn!  I was really hoping that was it.  Well, maybe it's fixed
in 1.11.5, but this new data point makes me less hopeful of that.

Larry summed that up admirably.

Since you have a small reproducible test, could you try it with
the repo *not* NFS-mounted, but local to the CVS server?  Even if
it still fails (as I half-suspect it will), at least we can stop
harping on the NFS thing and look elsewhere :-) So whichever the
outcome, it won't have been wasted effort.

A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done,
