No, something is going badly wrong somewhere.  You should have gotten an
error message at the client but, if not, then please try writing a short
shell script that runs the CVS server with stderr redirected into a
file, something like:

        #! /bin/sh
        exit /usr/local/bin/cvs "$@" 2>/tmp/cvs$$.log

temporarily change your inetd.conf to run the script rather than running
the server directly, reproduce the problem, and check the log file.
