cvs-1.12.9 pserver memory exhausted error

[Joel Peshkin]

I have a cvs 1.11.6 pserver in production on a solaris 2.7 machine.

I am trying to migrate to a version that supports PAM, so I built 1.12.9 
with the emable-pam option (also applied a port of the aclcvs patch from 
cvsacl.sourceforge.net, but I doubt this is related).

In general, it works well, but certain remote users get a fatal "[commit 
aborted]: memory exhausted" error when committing an ordinary file.  One 
user encountered this, retried, and succeeded.  A second user tried this 
(committing to a branch of a file that exists in the Attic) and 
encounters the problem repeatably.

I have reverted to 1.11.6 for now.  Does this have a familer ring to 
anyone?  Any debug suggestions?
